Cherry Tree Academy

Well done to the children that tool part in this year’s School Garden Competition in Culver Square.

This year’s theme was to represent the World Cup in a garden. We brainstormed our ideas in gardening club and talked about colours we would want to use red for Cherry Tree and white for footballs.

The group also enjoyed the opportunity to visit the bees with Dave. It was a lovely addition to the day,

Year 6’s performance of Peter Pan was amazing!
Watching the children bring Neverland to life, from the Lost Boys and the mermaids to Captain Hook and Mr Smee, was a joy from start to finish. The singing, the acting and the confidence they all showed on that stage was fantastic!

We were all very impressed with the bands that played in the iROCK concert last Thursday.
Tiny Riot opened the show looking super cute. All the bands played brilliantly using great musical skills and played to the audience. The highlight was the performance of Ordinary by Alex Warren which included a very complicated change of genre in the chorus to ska using their syncopated rhythm skills which is very complicated for a musician to do. Well done to all the children that took part.

What an amazing time everyone had at the school disco last week – both the KS1 and KS2 danced and danced, despite the heat!
Party Dude was fantastic as always and kept everyone entertained along with Michael Jackson!

Year 4 have been learning about balanced diets and designed their own healthy wraps. They carefully planned their recipes, considered flavour combinations and presentation, and developed important food preparation skills. Seeing their designs come to life was a fantastic and fun experience, and they were incredibly proud of their delicious creations, judging by the way they rapidly devoured them!

In maths this week Year 3 have been drawing different types of polygons with chalk on the playground – outdoor learning is so much fun!

Last week to help us cool down in the heatwave some children had a water fight on the field – it was amazing fun!

Squirrel Group were practising their spelling and applying their phonics with chalk outside. They used pink chalk to correct and mark – great work!

Having written to King Charles last month Year 1 were delighted to receive this response from Buckingham Palace. A super learning experience.

What a fabulous time we had at the KS1 & KS2 sports days.
Despite very hot weather Year 6 Sports Leaders helped organise events, supporting younger pupils to ensure the day ran smoothly. They demonstrated great responsibility and were excellent role models for the rest of the school. A particular well done and thank you must go to Mr Russell for all of his hard work in organising Sports Day and ensuring everything ran so smoothly. Thank you to all parents and family members who came along to support the children.
