The children have enjoyed exploring the school grounds again this week looking for leaves and twigs for their shoebox habitats.
They had great fun on Monday painting their boxes and arranging their finds. On Tuesday they made their mini-beasts from clay. These have be placed in their shoebox habitats.
In English we have been sequencing the story 'What the Ladybird Heard'. The children have been using pictures from the story to re-tell the story orally and write parts of the story. When re-telling, both orally and in a written form, they have been encouraged to use some of the key story vocabulary.
In maths we have been revisiting bonds to 10 and using these facts to find bonds to 20 and 100. Having a solid knowledge and quick re-call of number bonds to 10 is key to the maths that they children will do later this year and in the future.
Next week we will be having our School Council Elections. Any children who would like to have a chance of being voted onto the school council will need to make a poster for Friday14th October. The children have be given more information about this in school.
I am looking forward to seeing as many of you as possible at our Parent Meetings next week. If you haven't yet booked an appointment please do.
Have a great weekend!

We have made the most of the school grounds this week with habitat searches in Science and nature collections in Art.
The children have really enjoyed creating their own 'Nature Sculptures' using leaves, stones, twigs, flowers and other nature objects. I have been amazed by their artist flare and talent.
In English we been reading the story 'What the Ladybird Heard'. The children have been creating 'Freeze Frames' for key parts of the story and writing thought bubbles about character's feelings.
In maths we have been comparing objects and numbers using mathematical vocabulary. We have also been ordering numbers and placing numbers on number lines.
Next week we will be moving on to addition and subtraction to 20 and beyond.
Just a reminder about reading. Please can you make sure that your child is reading their school reading book at least 3 times each week. This regular reading and opportunity to re-read books is vital for them to improve their fluency and understanding. Please remember to record your child's reading in their reading record book so that we know they have read the book at home and that it needs to be changed. Thank you for your support with this.
Enjoy your weekend.

A shorter but still very busy week in Cherry Tree Class.
We have continued our work in English using the story of the Owl Babies. The children have been writing expanded noun phrases and using them to write descriptions of the story setting.
In maths we have been partitioning 2 digit numbers and writing them in their expanded forms 83 = 80 + 3. We have continued to work on writing numbers to 100 as both words and numerals. This week's homework is giving the children the opportunity to work on these important skills.
In art we have been making careful, observational drawings of things found in nature. I have been very impressed with the children's artistic skills.
The children should all have brought home their homework books today. Inside are details about how homework needs to be completed and when it needs to be returned. Your help in encouraging the children to complete their homework neatly and on time is much appreciated.
A reminder that shoeboxes need to be brought to school for the week beginning the 3rd October. The children should all have brought home a note about this today. They will be using them for some science work linked to habitats.
Have a wonderful weekend.
