Dear Everyone,
We hope you enjoyed your time off.
In English, we have started to publish our beautiful (and colourful) narratives based on various times and locations.
Here are some photos of the final masterpieces. The work will go into our Cedar Tree Class Book, where we will be able to enjoy reading our stories.
In maths, we started work on time. It was tricky for some of us, but we persevered!
Our computing lesson was so fun! We used coding (Scratch) to draw lines using a pencil sprite. See our work below.
Enjoy your weekend and we look forward to sharing more news with you next week,
Miss Maher and Mrs Ward

And that is another half term! We have had a lovely half term in Cedar getting to know each other whilst continuing to work hard.
This week the children have been finishing off their maths unit about money and have been using what they have learnt to solve problems.
In English we have been doing some work on fronted adverbials so that we can use them in our stories next half term.
In Science we have completed our unit on habitats and have had some good discussions about how humans can have both positive and negative impacts on habitats – some of the children told me that they are already involved in rewilding projects which is amazing!
Have a fabulous half term and we will see you all back for Summer 2.
Mrs Ward and Miss Maher.

Hi Everyone,
Hope you've had a wonderful week.
This week in English, we have been planning our stories set in different locations. We've had ideas for outer space and Ancient Egyptians. Next week, we will be using our planning to write the stories and then publish them.
In maths, both Year 3 and 4 have been concentrating on money. They've worked very hard even though some of the money questions were tricky.
We've had a lovely time in art, drawing and colouring actual fruit and veg!
Here are some of our fabulous masterpieces!

Hi all,
We have had another super week in Cedar class and even though it has been a shorter week, we have managed to get in lots of exciting learning. In English we have been publishing our diaries from the viewpoint of Om, the girl in 'Stone Age Boy,' and in reading we have continued to read 'Stig of the Dump.' This week we were looking for examples of similies and found lots of great examples as we read chapter 3
In maths Year 3 have been completing some work on statistics and Year 4 have been continuing to work with decimals. One of our highlights of the week was on Thursday when we took part in the VE day celebrations with the rest of school - hopefully you have seen the pictures and the video that Mrs. Amos posted yesterday. The children were amazing, their singing was beautiful and they all seemed to enjoy their VE day lunch.
Another highlight of the week in Cedar was our Art lesson with Miss Maher on Wednesday afternoon. The children were very excited to see the arrival of some clay in the morning and had a great time in the afternoon creating peppers from clay as part of their unit on fruit and vegetables.
Have a fabulous weekend and we will see you all next week!

Hello Everyone,
We enjoyed the sunshine all week and hope you did too.
We began our new unit on art, based on the works of Carl Warner, textile artist Michael Brennand-Wood, and Italian painter Caravaggio. We had fun drawing peppers using charcoal.
In maths, Year 3 worked on fractions and Year 4 continued with decimals. We completed lots of number work on whiteboards and in our books.
In English and Guided Reading, we read Stig of the Dump and The Stone Age Boy. We used the books to plan a diary entry, which we will publish next week.
We hope you have a fantastic weekend and enjoy the sunshine :)
Miss Maher & Mrs Ward
