Cedar - Spring 1 week 5 w.e 07.02.25
Posted: Feb 4, 2025 by: Mr Dring (p.dring) on: Cedar Tree Class
Hello
This week we have started drafting our endings to the real life story from 1992 about a helicopter pilot who survived crashing into a volcano. We have really enjoyed using drama to explore language of emotion and show not tell devices. For example, they were in peril, in mortal danger, he could hear his heartbeat pound in his ears. In Reading, we have continued to practise our retrieval and inference skills using our class novel 'Kidnap in the Caribbean.' In Music, the children continue to develop their recorder playing skills and are really making progress. In P.E, they have continued to practise and hone their skipping skills with Sam our PE coach, Mr Fones and myself. A few parents have asked what they can do to support their child best and I would always suggest mental maths skills such as number bonds to 100 reminders, all of the times table facts up to 12x12, spelling of the first 200 common exception words e.g people, school or neat and legible handwriting/letter formation.
Reminder - next week (Week 6) for the children is a 4 day week with school being closed for our next teacher training day.
Have a lovely weekend
Mr Dring
