Weekly Update 18.3.2022

Another busy week has come to an end in Pear Class.
In science, the children have continued learning about plants. This week we have learnt about what a plant needs to grow healthily. In addition to the children growing their own bulb we are conducting an experiment to see what happens to a bulb that does not have access to sunlight and a bulb that does not have access to water. All the children made a prediction about what will happen to the bulbs, so we shall wait to see if they come true.
In maths we have continued learning about fractions, focusing on finding a quarter of an amount. The children have preserved with this difficult concept and I have been very impressed with their maths skills.
We have also continued learning about Yeadon through our topic work. This week we have spoken about the different human and physical features of Yeadon and the surrounding areas.
This has been our final week writing about 'The Smartest Giant in Town'. Next week we will be starting to read 'Stickman' also by Julia Donaldson.
Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunny weather,
Miss Atkinson
