Hello
Thank you so much for everyone's kind words as I have taken up the acting roles in school and I really appreciate your understanding as I know a change of teacher mid academic year can cause some worries. I have loved spending as much time as possible this week with the children, whilst also fulfilling my wider school responsibilities with Mr Cooke supporting the Year 6 residential.
The children have thoroughly enjoyed finalising their design technology creations and our final learning linked to earthquakes and volcanoes.
Well done Year 4s with your skipping competition - I over ran running today's assembly because of all the team and individual awards they earnt! You were a credit to school.
Have an amazing holidays and have lots of fun family time
I look forward to supporting you all in Summer term.

Hello
What a wonderful week we have had in Cedar class. We have been very busy putting the final touches to our battery operated lights, started our volcano poetry unit, learned more about earthquakes and volcanoes in Geography, completed our circuits in Science and finished our class novel 'Kidnap in the Caribbean'.
I think I have now answered approximately a million questions about my new acting role and reassured the children they will still see me because I am still overseeing their learning as LKS2 lead.
Finally, thank you to you all for your kind words and congratulations on my new acting role.
Have an amazing weekend - hopefully with some sunshine.

Hello
Another packed week of learning this week. From learning about earthquakes, understanding why people live near volcanoes, designing our battery operated lights for a specific purpose, exploring electrical circuits in Science to rehearsing our roles as choir for the Year 5 Bugsy production.
It was lovely to celebrate with you all at Parents Evening - the progress your children have made so far in Cedar class.
We have been asked to remind you that the Reception outdoor learning areas are out of bounds to children and their siblings until the school doors are open so please ensure your children are not going into this area prior to that and removing/moving EYFS children's resources because they need them for their learning that day. Thank you.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Hello
This week has been a mix of new learning and assessing previous learning in Reading and Maths. In English we have continued to research all of the wonderful reasons someone might choose Yorkshire as a place to visit ready for drafting our non-chronological reports. In Science and D.T we have continued to explore electricity and circuits. In Geography we have focused on where volcanos are located and how they are formed using a variety of mapping techniques and studying the AD79 (79CE) Pompeii eruption in particular.
Please note that the children were set a PE related homework to be completed over two weeks. - details were stuck into the children's homework books last week. This is instead of our usual homework and is set with the same school expectations.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the parent consultations next week. Please contact the office if you still need to book an appointment.
I hope you have a delightful weekend.
