Weekly Update 14.11.25
Posted: Nov 13, 2025 by: Miss Cotterill (e.cotterill) on: Pear Tree Class Blog
Hello!
We have had a very busy week with Remembrance Day on Tuesday, Odd Socks Day for anti-bullying on Thursday and raising money for Children in Need on Friday!
In English we have been describing the setting of the island where the Wild Things live. We have used our senses to imagine the things that we might see, hear, feel and smell.
In Maths the children have been introduced to the subtraction symbol (-) and have been looking at how a part-whole model can help them solve subtraction number sentences.
In Art we focused on the work of Mark Rothko. The children explored blending red, yellow and blue paint (the primary colours) together to recreate some of his work. In PE we have been playing OAA games which is all about team work and listening skills.
The preparations for our Christmas Play have begun this week. We have started listening and practising the songs so you may hear a few new songs being sung in your homes. Our performance this year will be 'Prickly Hay'. We are all very excited :)
Polite reminder: Children are now receiving either English or Maths homework every Friday. Please make sure homework is completed and returned to school by the following Thursday so that is can be marked and a new sheet can be stuck in. Thank you to those who completed last weeks!
Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Cotterill
