If feels like summer is finally on its way! The weather has been beautiful this week and the children have loved being able to go outside without needing big coats.
Please remember that even in warmer weather children do need a coat in school each day. The weather can be very unpredictable. Please also make sure that your child has their water bottle in school.
We have been doing assessments this week. I have been very impressed with the children. They have all worked really hard and tried their very best!
In English we have started a new story, 'Stick Man', by Julia Donaldson. The children have been sequencing the story using pictures and partner talk to retell the main parts to each other. Next week they will be planning and writing their own Stick Man adventures using Yeadon as a setting.
In science we have continued our work on Plants. The children have been looking at the difference between wild and garden flowers.
Next week, weather permitting, we are doing our Local Walk to the Tarn. Please make sure that you have returned the permission slip by Monday. On this walk we will be focusing on old and new features and things that are human and physical features.
Enjoy the lovely sunshine this weekend.

The children have continued to enjoy our writing work based on the book 'The Smartest Giant in Town'. This week they have been writing letters to the giant from the fox. We have been thinking about the important features of an informal letter and using them in our own writing.
In maths we have been looking at finding a third of shapes, objects and numbers. The children are beginning to see the links with multiplication and division.
We are continuing to work on our quick recall of times tables facts for our 2's, 5's and 10's. We have had some more children this week who have managed to achieve their certificates for all 3 and gain their special badge. Your help, at home, in learning these important facts is much appreciated.
In science the children have been making careful observations of their bulbs that they planted last week. They have also been learning about the different parts of a flower. Hopefully our bulbs will begin to grow before the Easter holidays.
This week in our topic work 'Yeadon Explorers' we have been looking at the Human and Physical features of Yeadon. Next week we will be looking at how Yeadon has changed over the past 100 years. As part of our topic we will be having a local walk to the Tarn in the last week of term. Letters will be coming home soon!
Have a wonderful weekend.

Where has this week gone?
We have continued our Geography work this week as part of our 'Yeadon Explorers' topic. The children have been learning about the four main compass points and using them to solve some orienteering clues. The children enjoyed using the compass points and directional language to complete the challenge.
In maths we have continued our work on Fractions. The children have been finding quarters of shapes, objects and numbers. I have been very impressed with the mental skills used to find quarters by halving and halving again.
In English we have continued to use the book 'The Smartest Giant in Town'. The children have enjoyed writing as the Fox. Next week we will be writing some letters to the Giant.
Just a reminder that all children in school received a World Book Day token last week which can be redeemed in certain shops for a FREE book until Sunday 27th March. There are 12 completely free books to choose from this year or alternatively the children can redeem their voucher against a full price book to knock £1 off the cost.
Have a great weekend.
