We have had a brilliant week in Cherry Class this week, jam packed with lots of exciting learning! 

On Monday, we went to the woodland area and found a letter from the Owl Babies. We have been reading and using the story 'Owl Babies' within our learning. Some children have written letters back to the owls and others have made owls out of resources such as pine cones. We have all enjoyed retelling the story and using role play to act it out. 

Our role play area has turned into a vets this week. The children in Cherry Class have been interested in caring for animals and the role vets play. Following the children's interests, we have arranged a visitor from Barn Lodge in the coming weeks for us to find out more about caring for animals. 

In phonics, we have learnt the sounds z,zz,ch and qu. We have been reading and writing words containing these sounds. In Maths, we have been comparing numbers, which are more and less. Have a go at comparing amounts in the house. For example, 'Do we have more apples or bananas in the fruit bowl?' See if your child can tell you. 

We hope you enjoyed your half term break. I enjoyed hearing about all the adventures that the children got up to over the well deserved week off school.

Wow! What a busy first three weeks we have had in cherry class. We have been settling into our new class and getting to know our teachers and the other children in the class. We have been making lots of new friends and getting to know our environment and new routines, such as how to get our lunches at lunchtime and where all our belongings go in our classrooms. Our main focus for learning has been through play within our environment and getting to know one another.
