Hello!
We made it to the end of the first term! I cannot believe how quickly that has come around.
We have had a lovely final week in Pear Tree Class with lots of glitter, Christmas activities and our Christmas party.
I just want to say a really big thank you to all of the children for putting in 100% effort right up until the end. I also want to say thank you to all the parents/carers for your support, It is really appreciated.
Wishing you all a lovely Christmas and a Happy New Year.
See you in 2025!

Hello!
This week really has been all about our Christmas performance 'Hey Ewe!' The children in KS1 did an amazing job during the dress rehearsal and both shows on Tuesday and Wednesday. The children have thoroughly enjoyed everything about this performance so thank you all for coming to see the hard work they have put in to making it a fantastic one.
On Thursday we visited St John's Church. 'Rick the Vic' sang some songs with us and shared the story of the first Christmas. The children already knew lots about this!
Just a little reminder that we will be having our class Christmas party on Wednesday 18th. Thank you to all who have made a contribution!
We have finished the week with Christmas Jumper Day and Christmas dinner! We even got a visit from Santa :)
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
A very busy week with lots of Christmas performance practice going on! We will be doing the first performance next Tuesday 10th at 2:00pm and the second one will take place on Wednesday 11th at 9:30am. We are all extremely excited for you to see all the hard work we have put in to making 'Hey Ewe!' a fabulous performance.
In Maths we have moved on to numbers to 20. Children have been familiarising themselves with the teen numbers (thinking about what they look like and their value). They have also been attempting some problem solving questions.
In Science the children have been exploring different materials by bending, squashing, twisting or stretching them.
Christmas arrived in our classroom on Monday. Our tree is full of the beautiful decorations made by the children and doesn't it look great! We have also had a little visitor arrive in Pear Tree... Buddy the Elf. Buddy is a Rufford Park Learner elf and he works very hard! The children have been catching him doing all sorts of activities this week.
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
Another week gone in a flash. With only 2 weeks to go until our Christmas performance the children have been rehearsing nearly everyday!
In English we have continued with our diary recount writing as Florence Nightingale and started to think about writing a letter as one of the other nurse we have been learning about.
In Maths we have been looking at fact families and how 3 numbers work together to make 2 addition facts and 2 subtraction facts.
On Thursday afternoon I took a few members of our class to the Dance Fest at Yeadon Town Hall. The children did a fantastic job and it was a wonderful event to be a part of!
We have finished our week off with a non-uniform day to say thank you to those of you who have made donations to the Christmas Fayre :)
Have a lovely weekend.

Hello!
This 4 day week has flown by but we have still been up to lots of things in Pear Tree!
In Maths we have continued with subtraction within 10 using a number line, numicon and bar models to find the difference.
In English we have been planning a diary entry as Florence Nightingale. The children have done a fabulous job of getting into character and writing from Florence's perspective.
As mentioned last week we have been practicing our songs for our Christmas play 'Hey Ewe!'. All of the children have been told the dance or part they will be playing. Here are the lyrics and audios if you want to practice at home:
Have a lovely long weekend.
