Last week I started my blog with the thought that summer was on its way and this week it feels like winter has returned!
It really has been a very busy week in Year 2 Cherry this week.
On Tuesday we had a little trip out with our local walk to the Tarn. The weather was not quite as warm and sunny as I would have liked but the children loved getting out of school. We looked at lots of human features of Yeadon and talked about what things were old and new. The children were amazing and I am sure all the general public that we saw will have been impressed with their excellent behaviour.
This week we have continued our work using the story Stick Man. The children have been writing sentences using commas in a list to do with Stick Man and his adventures. They have also been planning their own Stick Man adventure using Yeadon as a setting. To help them really get their creative juices flowing they even made their own Stick Man.
The children shared their new adventure with a partner and used their Stick Man to help bring the story to life.
In maths we have continued our work on Time. Any work at home on telling the time would really be appreciated.
I can't believe we have come to the end of another term. The school year is really going too fast.
Please make sure that your child reads as much as possible in the holidays. They have all got a Screen Time Challenge sheet home with them and reading is one of the things that they could do instead of picking screen time. The winning class will get a special treat (it will not be watching a film).
Wishing you all a very happy Easter holiday.

If feels like summer is finally on its way! The weather has been beautiful this week and the children have loved being able to go outside without needing big coats.
Please remember that even in warmer weather children do need a coat in school each day. The weather can be very unpredictable. Please also make sure that your child has their water bottle in school.
We have been doing assessments this week. I have been very impressed with the children. They have all worked really hard and tried their very best!
In English we have started a new story, 'Stick Man', by Julia Donaldson. The children have been sequencing the story using pictures and partner talk to retell the main parts to each other. Next week they will be planning and writing their own Stick Man adventures using Yeadon as a setting.
In science we have continued our work on Plants. The children have been looking at the difference between wild and garden flowers.
Next week, weather permitting, we are doing our Local Walk to the Tarn. Please make sure that you have returned the permission slip by Monday. On this walk we will be focusing on old and new features and things that are human and physical features.
Enjoy the lovely sunshine this weekend.

The children have continued to enjoy our writing work based on the book 'The Smartest Giant in Town'. This week they have been writing letters to the giant from the fox. We have been thinking about the important features of an informal letter and using them in our own writing.
In maths we have been looking at finding a third of shapes, objects and numbers. The children are beginning to see the links with multiplication and division.
We are continuing to work on our quick recall of times tables facts for our 2's, 5's and 10's. We have had some more children this week who have managed to achieve their certificates for all 3 and gain their special badge. Your help, at home, in learning these important facts is much appreciated.
In science the children have been making careful observations of their bulbs that they planted last week. They have also been learning about the different parts of a flower. Hopefully our bulbs will begin to grow before the Easter holidays.
This week in our topic work 'Yeadon Explorers' we have been looking at the Human and Physical features of Yeadon. Next week we will be looking at how Yeadon has changed over the past 100 years. As part of our topic we will be having a local walk to the Tarn in the last week of term. Letters will be coming home soon!
Have a wonderful weekend.
