Welcome to Cherry's class page!
Summer 1 seems to have zoomed by. We have been delighted to welcome two new children to the class – well done, Cherries, for helping them to settle in so quickly!
In English, we have been writing narrative based on the story of The Happy Prince, by Oscar Wilde. about a beautiful statue of a prince covered in gold and precious jewels. He sees the suffering of the poor in his city and finds a way, through a kindhearted sparrow, to help them. We are almost ready to write our own versions of The Last Bear, in which April befriends a polar bear and they go an adventure together. We have worked on lots of key English skills, such as including fronted adverbials, direct speech and adjectives in our writing. I’ve included a link to a guide below which you might find helpful.

In maths, we have continued our work on mass and capacity, and we are currently deepening our understanding of fractions. Most excitingly, we are working very hard on our times tables. This is because becoming fluent in these supports so many other areas of maths. Times Table Rock Stars is an excellent resource – log on with your child today and prepare to be wowed! Do let us know if you need a username or password reminder.
In French, we have been re-visiting some of our earlier learning on greeting each other and introducing ourselves, as well as learning how to talk about our families!
In RE, we have continued to deepen our understanding of Christianity.
In Science we have been exploring parts and more specifically the functions of the different parts of the plants. Cherry Class are looking forward to having the opportunity to dissect some plants!
Computing has seen us explore with creating media and using different fonts, sizes and colours of texts for different purposes.
In History we have continued our work on Ancient Egypt and spent some time looking at hieroglypics and using these to write our own names which was great fun, some children were grateful to have shorter names!
In music we have explored Jazz music and had a go playing a piece of Jazz whilst following a piece of music.
Art has given us the opportunity to create moving pictures. We have been able to design our own through the research we have carried out on others and thought carefully about what we liked and what we would like to include on our own pictures.
Please remember to send your child with a drink and sunhat now the warmer weather is coming.
We look forward to seeing you for our reading cafe Friday 4th June at 2:30.
In addition to named PE kits, please ensure jumpers, cardigans and coats are also named in order for items to be returned if they do go missing.
Please continue to read with your children as often as you can, it really helps their progress and confidence. We are encouraging your children to inform us of when they have finished a book and it needs changing if this occurs at a time they are not reading with an adult. Please do get in touch via Dojo if you feel your child’s book needs changing more frequently or if they have had the same book for a long period of time.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. We are looking forward to another fun filled term with your children.
