A lovely week in Cherry Tree Class! It has been lovely to see the children still being able to enjoy some sunny weather.
We have continued to find out about 'The Great Fire of London'. This week we have been learning about what caused the fire to spread so quickly and far. We have talked about the houses being made of wood, being close together and the dry spell London had had at that time. Next week we will be learning more about how we know about this famous fire.
In maths we have been looking at number lines with intervals of 10 and 1's. We have also been comparing numbers and objects using the vocabulary less than, greater than and equal to.
In English we have continued our London Theme with our book 'Katie in London'. We have been looking at settings and talking about what a setting is. We have then looked more closely at the setting of the 'River Thames' and written our own descriptions of this setting.
I was very pleased with the amount of reading the children have done at home over the past week. Thank you for your continued support in helping you child with this vital skill.
Have a wonderful weekend, hopefully enjoying some continued sunshine!

What a busy week!
We have continued our writing using the book 'Katie in London'. This week the children have been writing descriptions of the Lion and Katie the main characters. We have been making sure that we use good adjectives to make expanded noun phrases.
In maths we have been partitioning 2 digit numbers using arrow cards. We have been writing the expanded form of numbers too.
In our History this week we have started to look at what London was like at the time of the Great Fire. The children have sorted pictures of the present day and the past.
Please remember to listen to your child read at home as much as possible and record in their reading record book. A reminder too that homework needs to be completed and returned by Wednesday each week.
Have a wonderful weekend.

It has been nice to have our first full and normal week at school.
In English we have been using the story 'Katie in London' as our writing stimulus. Before we read the story, the children used some of the pictures to help them make some predictions about who and what the story might be about. They have also been ordering some of the story vocabulary alphabetically and also using dictionaries to find other words to complete an alphabet sheet. In preparation for next week's descriptive writing, the children have worked in pairs to find words and phrases to describe the main character 'The Lion'.
In maths we have stared our unit of work on 'Place Value'. We have been counting forwards and backwards in tens and making groups of 10. The children have also been making 2 digit numbers using base ten and drawing the representation for numbers (using tens and ones). I have been very impressed with their place value knowledge. Homework this week is reinforcement of this work.
The children have enjoyed their first Singing Assembly of the year and the first visit from Open the Book too!
Today the children will all have their first piece of homework. This needs to be completed and returned by Wednesday next week.
It was lovely to see so many of you after school on Wednesday. It was quite busy at the beginning and I know I did not get the chance to say hello to everyone.
Have a wonderful weekend.
