The last full week of this half term and term has been completed. I just can't believe how quickly this school year is going.
This week in maths we have been learning about Position and Direction. The children have been using key language including: clockwise, anti-clockwise, forwards, backwards, full turn, quarter turns and three quarter turns. We have also been reinforcing knowledge of left and right. Any reinforcement at home on this key vocabulary would be much appreciated.
We have nearly completed our 'Yeadon Explorers' Topic. This week the children have been writing about the similarities and differences of Yeadon and Tulum. They have also thought about where they would rather live using geographical information in their answers. We have also written questions to a child in Mexico which hopefully we will get some answers to next week.
In English we have continued our writing linked to the book 'Stick Man'. The children have been planning and writing an information text about Yeadon for children. Stick Man has taken a tour of Yeadon and visited the best spots. The children have really enjoyed this piece of writing and done a fantastic job.
Next week the Book Fair will be in school so please remember to visit.
Enjoy the weekend.

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.
