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 :)

Hello and welcome to the Summer term in Cedar!
The children have all settled back to school really well and have spent some time getting to know their new teachers Mrs. Ward and Miss. Maher. Mrs. Ward will be working in Cedar on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday afternoons and Miss. Maher will be working on Wednesday morning, Thursday and Friday.
This week has seen the start of our new class novel 'Stig of the Dump' and the children have been working hard to predict what the story might be about whilst learning lots of new vocabulary. They have also been reading 'Stone Age Boy' which will be our English text for the next few weeks as we work up to writing a diary entry from the view of the main character.
In maths the children have been completing some work on fractions and decimals and have shown excellent knowledge and hard work.
In Science we made a start on our new topic about habitats and spent time learning about how different habitats are suitable for different animals and plants.
We are looking forward to our first full week in Cedar next week and have lots of exciting learning planned.
Have a lovely weekend!
Mrs. Ward and Miss. Maher.

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.
Mr Dring
