A busy week of learning has come to an end.
In English, we have learnt what instructions are and the key features of a set of instructions. The children followed a set of instructions to make each their own friendship bracelet. Later in the week the children each ordered their own set of instructions about how to get Cinderella ready for the ball.
Following on from learning to count in 2s, 5s and 10s last week, the children have learnt how to make arrays in maths and how to use arrays to solve repeated addition number sentences.
In geography the children worked in groups to create a map of the school and even created their own map key!
Next week is Online Safety Week. We will be doing additional lessons about online safety next week but it would also be beneficial if you could discuss online safety with your child/children next week. Please use this link to find information about how to keep your child safe online: https://saferinternet.org.uk/guide-and-resource/parents-and-carers
Enjoy the weekend I will see you again on Monday for the final week of the half term!

A very quiet week in Pear Tree Class has come to an end.
In maths we have learnt how to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. The children did really well with spotting patterns in the final digits of numbers to work out whether they would say a given number when counting in multiples of 2s, 5s and 10s.
In English we have focused on sentence level writing by writing captions to match pictures from Cinderella. On Wednesday all the children completed their writing independently and showed massive progress from where they started at the beginning of the year.
In DT we continued learning about mechanisms and moving pictures. Each child made their own lever to make a scene from Jack and the Beanstalk move.
In geography we continued learning about our local area by discussing the physical and human features of Yeadon.
Have a lovely weekend and hope that everyone affected has recovered from chicken pox!

We have learned so much this week!
In English the children wrote their own recount from the point of view of Cinderella.
In maths we have learnt how to make equal groups, count in 2s and how to count in 2s to solve problems.
In DT we have continued our unit about moving pictures. The children made their own slider mechanism to enhance the story of the Gingerbread Man.
In PE the children have continued learning the quite challenging skill of how to skip! I have been so impressed with their perseverance and determination.
Enjoy the weekend and let's hope for a warmer week on Monday.
