Hello!
This week we have finished our information posters all about the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. The children were all really proud to share their finished posters with each other.
In DT we have planned our seasonal fruit salad which the children will be making and eating next week. In Science we recapped on the 4 seasons and reminded ourselves what happens during each season and how our environment changes.
Thank you for those of you who have already brought in their Africa homework project. The animals and instruments are looking amazing! If you have finished the homework project, please bring it into school! A date for the exhibition with be confirmed next week :)
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
This week has been full of fun and animals with our Yorkshire Wildlife Park trips.
The children all represented the school fantastically on Wednesday - even in the scorching heat! Their behaviour was amazing :)
The polar bears really put on a show for us with lots of playing in the water, the lions and tiger were cat napping in the shade. Please see photos on Rufford Park's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/RuffordParkPrimaryandNursery/?locale=en_GB
When we were all back in the classroom on Thursday we wrote a recount of our day and shared what we had enjoyed the most. Next week we will be creating an information poster all about the Yorkshire Wildlife Park.
I hope you all have a restful weekend after a very tiring/hot week!

Hello!
We have had another full week in Pear Tree.
In English we have been writing diamante poems all about African animals. It is really important to follow the structure when writing a diamante poem and the children all did a fantastic job. We had some very brave children share their poem with the whole class.
In PE we really enjoyed playing a fishing game where children had to cast their nets (a hoop) to catch fish (cones) in the lake (the MUGA). We were working on our throwing and retrieving skills. Everyone did a super job and had a great time playing :)
We are all very excited about our trip to Yorkshire Wildlife Park next Wednesday 26th! All children received a final letter on Monday with lots of information about what is needed on the day so please take a look at this.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
We have had another full week in Pear Tree.
In English we have written thank you letters to Mama Panya for inviting us to her delicious pancake party. The children have really enjoyed this text and using their imaginations to describe life in rural Kenya.
In Maths we have been consolidating 2D and 3D shapes. We have been looking at the properties and grouping shapes based on the properties.
In Science we have been identifying different deciduous trees and had a go at identify trees based on their leaves. The children also had a go at making leaf rubbings.
This week we finished off our pieces of art work for the ALPT Art Exhibition which is all about nursery rhymes this year. We have chosen to base our piece on ‘Ladybird Ladybird’. This work will be displayed in a few weeks time at St Oswald's Church - more details to follow.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
The first week back has gone by in a flash.
The highlight of our week really has to be Sports Day. All the children should be immensely proud of their efforts during their races! Everyone showed fantastic determination and super team work. Thank you to everyone who came down and cheered the children on. Yellow House were the winning team in KS1 and overall :)
In Maths we have been partitioning numbers up to 100. We have also been comparing numbers using the greater than, less than and equal to symbols (>,<, =). As a treat for their hard work we watched an episode of Numberblocks which explains the symbols: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0blsqtz/numberblocks-series-3-blockzilla
Have a lovely weekend.
