Another very busy week in Cherry Tree Class.
We have continued our work on poetry this week. The children are really enjoying this unit of writing. They have written some lovely poems titled, 'If you're not from Yeadon'.
In maths we have continued to work on solving problems involving all 4 operations. The children have been thinking about the maths vocabulary that will help them to decide which operations to use.
In Art this half term we are looking at sculptors. This week we have looked at the work of Michelle Reader. The children enjoyed creating their own monsters using a variety of re-used materials.
On Tuesday we had a visit from Harold the Giraffe. He came to talk to us about 'Feelings'. The children listened really well and talked very clearly about different feelings they might have and how to manage them. They really enjoyed meeting Harold!
All the children were given a letter yesterday about an after-school multi-sports club that will be starting soon. Please make sure that your child returns this by the date given if they are interested in taking part in this club.
Enjoy your longer bank holiday weekend. Let's hope the weather warms up a little.

It was lovely to see all the children back in school on Tuesday. We are now in the final term of the year. Where has the time gone?
We had a few lessons to finish, so we are continuing with our topic 'Yeadon Explorers' for the first 2 weeks of the term. This week the children have been learning about the old school 'South View School'. They have been looking at evidence on the school grounds of the old school. These included the old walls, original window and the old stone sign that was above the entrance.
In English we are continuing the theme of Yeadon to write some Yeadon inspired poetry. The children have been looking at List Poems and becoming more familiar with the structure of poems. They have written their own List Poem using their walk to the Tarn for some ideas.
In maths we have been using the inverse to solve missing number addition and subtraction problems. We have also been using our addition and subtraction skills to solve number sentences and then compare them using the less than, greater than and equal to signs. We will be continuing to work on our quick recall of times tables facts for 2,5 and 10 times tables. Your help at home to work on these would be appreciated. The children need to know the multiplication and division facts for these times tables.
Well done to all the children who completed the 'Screen Time Challenge'. The winning classes will be announced next week.
Remember that the Book Fair will be in school all next week. You will be able to visit this either before or after school. Please look at the school newsletter for more information.
Enjoy your weekend.

Last week I started my blog with the thought that summer was on its way and this week it feels like winter has returned!
It really has been a very busy week in Year 2 Cherry this week.
On Tuesday we had a little trip out with our local walk to the Tarn. The weather was not quite as warm and sunny as I would have liked but the children loved getting out of school. We looked at lots of human features of Yeadon and talked about what things were old and new. The children were amazing and I am sure all the general public that we saw will have been impressed with their excellent behaviour.
This week we have continued our work using the story Stick Man. The children have been writing sentences using commas in a list to do with Stick Man and his adventures. They have also been planning their own Stick Man adventure using Yeadon as a setting. To help them really get their creative juices flowing they even made their own Stick Man.
The children shared their new adventure with a partner and used their Stick Man to help bring the story to life.
In maths we have continued our work on Time. Any work at home on telling the time would really be appreciated.
I can't believe we have come to the end of another term. The school year is really going too fast.
Please make sure that your child reads as much as possible in the holidays. They have all got a Screen Time Challenge sheet home with them and reading is one of the things that they could do instead of picking screen time. The winning class will get a special treat (it will not be watching a film).
Wishing you all a very happy Easter holiday.
