This Week in Cherries

30th March 2023Hannah Edgar

In RE we have been learning all about Holy week. We wrote sentences about the days leading up to Easter Sunday and looked at how Christians celebrate Easter.

As part of Autism Acceptance Week and the theme of colour, we went over to Willows to design yellow butterflies to be part of a whole school display. We then wrote acrostic poems using positive adjectives to describe people.

To end the Rocks, Relics and Rumbles topic we looked as tsunamis and how they are caused.

For our smelly egg competition we designed some dinosaurs and eggs and created a display with our volcanoes.

We had our final Kidsafe session and were all awarded certificates.

 

 

 

Family Fun in Cherries!

23rd March 2023Hannah Edgar

In DT Cherries have been constructing volcano models and this week we invited parents and carers into class to paint the volcanoes with their children. The children thought carefully about their designs and applied their extensive knowledge of volcanoes, such as saying their volcano is extinct, so painting no lava onto it. They then drew or painted designs onto rocks and showed their families some of our great resources in Cherries class. A fantastic afternoon and a huge thank you to all parents and carers for your time to come and partake in these activities with us.

Red Nose Day

17th March 2023Hannah Edgar

For Red Nose Day Cherries staff and children all chose their own Mr Men and Little Miss character that represented them.

We then went to Willows and drew our own face with a red nose, designed 6 different red noses and coloured in some Mr Men and Little Miss characters.

We then played some Mr Men and Little Miss bingo in class.   

The Dinosaur That Pooped the Past

10th March 2023Hannah Edgar

This week in Cherries we have read The Dinosaur That Pooped the Past. The children completed some work around retelling the story, rhyming words, fixing punctuation and drew their own snapshot of the dinosaur visiting somewhere different from the past. He visited The Stone Age, The Bronze Age, The Titanic and The Britannic.

World Book Day in Cherries

3rd March 2023H Warburton

Cherries had a fantastic World Book Day. We started the day by visiting Willows to share stories with each other. We then visited the book swap to all choose a new book to take home. In class we created bookmarks using collages of some of our favourite books we then created bunting with inspirational reading quotes.

Art and PSHE this week

13th February 2023H Warburton

As part of their art topic Cherries have been learning about ammonites. They used a Styrofoam template of an ammonite, painted it, then used a roller to print the design onto paper.

For Children’s Mental Heath week they connected with people in lots of ways – singing, playing, sharing toys, Lego, hugs to name a few. They also drew their own characters to represent them and what they liked.
