Cherry Class Blog 2025 26 Week 4 Term 4

Welcome everyone to the halfway point of Term 2, and also our latest blog!

Literacy this week has been dominated by poetry and rap music, seeing how the two are so closely linked. The children had the opportunity to explore the poetry of Karl Nova and performed poems in a rap style.

In Numeracy, Year 5 focused on fraction addition, moving between proper, improper and mixed fractions successfully. Year 6 looked at fraction division and had an assessment later in the week.

In History, we continued our learning looking at the Golden Age of Islam and looked at an incredible Muslim explorer who left his home in Morocco on a pilgrimage to Mecca..........and didn't return for nearly 30 years!! He visited 40 modern day countries and travelled as far as India and China (over 700 years ago!)

In Science we looked at hygiene and created a poster to remind us of what we should be doing by way of a daily personal hygiene 'checklist'. 

In Music we continued looking at gospel music and had a chance to sing in class!

Have a great weekend everyone

Mr Ramsden and Miss Stokes
