Cedar Weekly Update 25.9.2026
Posted: Sep 25, 2026 by: Miss Bardsley (b.bardsley) on: Cedar Tree Class Blog
Hello Cedar Class families,
This week, we have continued our Romans learning by exploring the lives of gladiators and using them as inspiration for our character descriptions. The children have worked hard to develop ambitious vocabulary and are preparing for their first published piece of writing of the year.
In Computing, we loved inventing our own devices. The children showed great creativity and took lots of care when designing and presenting their ideas.
The Year 4 children enjoyed another successful swimming session and are already growing in confidence in the water. As previously stated, the groupings of children are set by the leisure centre and are fluid so that they are continually assessed and moved according to their ability shown in the pool each week. We use the Leeds Swim Scheme to ensure that every child has the chance to succeed no matter what their starting points and also have the opportunity to be stretched and develop core swim safety skills where applicable.
In Maths, Year 3 have been ordering and comparing numbers to 1,000, while Year 4 have been ordering and comparing numbers to 10,000. This has helped to strengthen their understanding of place value and number magnitude.
In Reading, the children have been thoroughly enjoying our class novel, Thieves of Ostia, and are always eager to find out what happens next.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Miss Bardsley
