Another very busy week!
It was lovely to see so many of you at the Parent Meetings this week. I hope you enjoyed seeing some of your children's work and could see just how hard they are working and the progress they have made since the beginning of the year.
This week has been a week of special visitors. On Wednesday we had a special PSHE lesson with Jane, from SCARF, and Harold the Giraffe. The children were learning about different feelings and how different situations can make them feel. They were also learning about having a healthy body and what we can do to keep ourselves healthy.
Today we had a visit from the author Caryl Hart. The children enjoyed listening to her stories and about how she became an author.
Enjoy your weekend.

Well the highlight of the week as been 'World Book Day'.
I was really pleased with the number of 'Little People, BIG DREAMS' bubbles that were returned. We had a really good mix of Inspirational People - some with books already written and some, perhaps, with books yet to come. You will be able to see them on display when you come next week for your Parent Meetings.
The children also embraced the dressing up too. We had some very inventive choices: Mary Anning, Anne Frank and Albert Einstein to name a few.
World Book Day is, however, about the reading and sharing of books not just the dressing up. During the day the children listened to a selection of stories both in their own classroom and elsewhere. The children in Cherry Tree Class went to visit Mrs Millen in Reception Class for a story session. They all thoroughly enjoyed a return to Reception and the story Mrs Millen read to them.
Please continue to reinforce the important message of 'World Book Day' at home with your child. Encourage them to choose to read for pleasure and read lots of stories to them too!
Have a wonderful weekend.

As always, a busy week of learning in Cherry Tree Class this week. We have also had our best week for attendance in quite a while so well done to all the children!
This week in English we have continued to use the story of 'The Smartest Giant in Town'. The children have written recounts as The Fox. They have made sure that they have written in the first person and retold his story to include his feelings and actions.
In Maths we have started our unit of work on 'Fractions'. This week we have been learning about equal and unequal and finding half of numbers, shapes and objects.
On Wednesday we had our special visitor 'James Ketchell'. The children enjoyed listening to his adventure stories and asked some very sensible questions too! we have been talking about the qualities he needed to complete such adventures and have tried to include some of these in our attitude to our work.
A reminder that next Thursday is 'World Book Day'. The children can come to school dressed as their 'Inspirational Person' or any Book Character if they want to.
Have a wonderful weekend.
