Where has this week gone?
We have continued our Geography work this week as part of our 'Yeadon Explorers' topic. The children have been learning about the four main compass points and using them to solve some orienteering clues. The children enjoyed using the compass points and directional language to complete the challenge.
In maths we have continued our work on Fractions. The children have been finding quarters of shapes, objects and numbers. I have been very impressed with the mental skills used to find quarters by halving and halving again.
In English we have continued to use the book 'The Smartest Giant in Town'. The children have enjoyed writing as the Fox. Next week we will be writing some letters to the Giant.
Just a reminder that all children in school received a World Book Day token last week which can be redeemed in certain shops for a FREE book until Sunday 27th March. There are 12 completely free books to choose from this year or alternatively the children can redeem their voucher against a full price book to knock £1 off the cost.
Have a great weekend.

This week we have started out new topic 'Yeadon Explorers'. The children have been looking at maps and finding where Leeds and Yeadon are on them. We have also been reminding ourselves of the 4 countries of the UK and the seas that surround it. .
In English we have been reading the 'Smartest Giant in Town'. The children have been exploring words with common suffixes and using them in their writing.
In maths we have started our unit of work on Fractions. We have been exploring what fractions are and looking at finding a half of shapes, objects and numbers. The children have continued to work on their Times Tables and we have quite a few this week who have achieved their two, five or tens times tables. Well done to those children and everyone else keep working on these important facts.
On Thursday we had World Book Day. The children came dressed in some amazing outfits. I was really impressed with the range of book characters that we had. The children had a great day and enjoyed choosing some new books in the Book Swap.
Enjoy your weekend.

What a busy week the children have had!
In maths we have been working on shape. The children have been looking at the properties of both 2D and 3D shapes. We have been using mathematical vocabulary to describe them and looking at what 2D shapes we can find in 3D shapes.
The children have continued their Cinderella themed writing. We have been writing our own 'blurbs'. The children have really enjoyed this unit of work.
In DT we have continued the Cinderella theme. The children have designed and made their own Cinderella story page. They have included sliding and lever mechanisms. Some also included a 'lift the flap' with some hidden things to find underneath.
We had a very special visitor on Thursday, Jodie the skipping coach. The children really enjoyed the morning and showed great skill and determination with their skipping. We will hopefully have the first skipping competition in two years later in the school year.
The children have all worked very hard this half term and I am sure that they are all ready for a break.
Have a wonderful half term.
