The children had a real treat to start the week off. This was a sneak preview of the Key Stage 2 production of 'Bugsy Malone'. The children all really enjoyed the performance and all the children in the show were amazing!
In maths we have continued our work on money. We have been finding different ways of making the same amount and counting money. Next week we will be comparing amounts of money and solving some money problems.
Our PSHE this week has also been linked to money. The children have been learning about how to look after their money.
In English we have started preparing to write a diary as a Victorian child at Southview School. The children have been using drama to get a better idea of what life in school would have been like in Victorian Yeadon. They have also been learning about the meanings of some key 'topic' vocabulary. Next week they will be planning and writing their diary entries.
In Art we have continued the theme of Victorian Yeadon. The children have been doing some observational drawings of the skyline, in particular the Mill chimneys that are still visible from the school grounds. They have also been using some pictures of Victorian Yeadon.
It seems unbelievable that next week is the last week before the end of yet another term. This year really is going too quickly!
Have a wonderful weekend!

It was so lovely to talk to so many of you this week and share your children's work with you.
In maths we have started a new unit of work 'Money'. We have been using coins to make different amounts and counting money. This week's homework is also about money.
In English we have been writing a diary entry as one of the Little Pigs. The children have included time words and details of how the pigs felt.
The children have also completed assessments this week in reading and maths. I have been very impressed with their resilience and levels of independence.
I hope you all enjoy a sunny weekend.

After a warm and sunny weekend it has felt that winter has returned this week.
The children have continued to use the story of 'The Three Little Pigs' this week to inspire their writing. They have been planning and writing letters to Mummy Pig inviting her to come to see them at their house of bricks.
In maths we have been looking at finding thirds of numbers, objects and shapes. The children have really enjoyed this unit of work and shown a good level of understanding. Your support in helping us to get the children to become more secure with their 2, 5 and 10 times tables is much appreciated. This knowledge of Times Tables is crucial when finding given factions.
In our topic 'Step Back in Time' we have been learning about Victorian School Life. We have linked this to the old school that was on our site built in Victorian Times. The children have been looking at photo evidence and comparing the old school to our school today.
As promised, a picture of Cherry Tree class on World Book Day last week. World Book Day is all about encouraging children to read, especially for pleasure. Please remember to listen to your child read at home and record this in the school reading record book.
I look forward to seeing you all at next week's Parent Meetings.
Enjoy your weekend!
