I hope all the children are making the most of the snow today and building lots of snowmen!
Today is also a great opportunity to get homework done, and of course, do some extra reading.
This week we have continued our work on fractions. We have been looking at quarters and thirds of numbers, shapes and objects. Next week we will be consolidating our learning and also looking at simple equivalent fractions.
In English we have been planning and writing a letter from the Pigs to their mum. In the letter they have told their mum about recent events with Mr Wolf and also invited her to come and visit.
Our sunflower seeds, which we planted earlier in the half term, are beginning to sprout. We have continued our Science work on plants by exploring the school grounds looking at different types of plants and signs that Spring is on its way.
It has been a few weeks now since Cherry Tree Class have won 'Aslan' in our Reading Challenge. Your support in listening to your child read at home is crucial. Please remember to sign your child's Reading Record Book. The children need to read at least 3 times each week to gain points towards winning Aslan.
Enjoy your snowy weekend!

The highlight of this week was 'World Book Day'.
The children all looked amazing in their t-shirts. I was very impressed with their artistic skills. The t-shirts were created using special felt-tip pens and inspired by their favourite books and authors.
This week we have continued our work inspired by the story of the Three Little Pigs. The children have been writing letters from the Wolf to apologise for the damage and upset he caused.
In maths we have been learning about fractions. We have been finding halves of numbers, shapes and objects. We have continued to work on our arithmetic including our quick mental recall of times-tables facts for 2, 5 and 10's.
Please remember to read with your child at home and record all their reading in their red book. We have not had Aslan for a few weeks now and we would like to have him back in Cherry Tree Class. The only way to do this is to Read, Read and Read!
Have a lovely weekend.

The children have got straight back in to it this week and worked very hard!
This week we started our new Topic 'Once Upon a Time'. We watched some of the original footage of Queen Elizabeth11 Coronation and talked about what a monarch does. We also completed a photograph chronology task to help us to understand the concept of the past and when different people lived and when important events took place.
In English we are using the Traditional Tale of the Three Little Pigs to inspire our writing. This week we have been sequencing the story and using 'Freeze Frame' techniques to help us to understand how characters felt and acted at different points in the story.
In maths we have been recapping on addition and subtraction. We have also been practising our Times Tables and some children in the class have achieved their first certificates. This was for knowing their ten times tables facts, both multiplication and division. Well done to those children!
Next Thursday is World Book Day. The children have all decorated their t-shirts with their favourite books and characters in preparation of the day. No dressing up is required just normal school uniform please. T-shirts will be worn in school on the day and taken home that night.
Enjoy your weekend.
