Weekly Update 13.5.2022
Posted: May 12, 2022 by: K Atkinson (k.atkinson) on: Pear Tree Class Blog
Another busy week has come to an end in Pear Class.
In English the children have carried on writing about 'Handa's Surprise' and have focused on describing the setting of the story. The quality of the writing this week has been very impressive and I am so proud of every single one of the children for the fantastic progress they have made with their writing this year.
In maths we have finished learning about different turns (half, quarter, full, three quarter and clockwise and anticlockwise) and will be starting to lean how to tell the time next week.
As part of our topic work the children discussed what they already know about Africa (mainly the different animals that live there!) and sorted a selection physical and human features found in Africa. Some children in the class have mentioned that they have been to Africa, specifically Egypt and Zimbabwe. If your child has visited any of the countries in Africa and you would be happy to send in some photos from your trip of any landmarks/animals you saw or food that you ate, this would be appreciated. Please email the photos to: pear@ruffordparkprimary.org.uk
A gentle reminder to please make sure that your child brings a waterproof coat to school every day as the children still play outside at break and lunchtimes even if it is drizzling. Please also make sure that on PE days (Monday and Tuesday) your child takes their earrings out or if this is not possible, their earrings are covered with tape/plasters.
I hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunny weather,
Miss Atkinson
