Cedar Spring 2, Week 1 w.e 28.02.25
Posted: Feb 25, 2025 by: Mr Dring (p.dring) on: Cedar Tree Class
Hello
Welcome back - it's Spring 2 already. The children have brought their enthusiasm for learning back with them and also some sunshine which has cheered us all. We have started learning how to use persuasive language as part of our new unit on non-chronological writing. As part of this, we used drama and acted out a mini TV advert for the imaginary Sydney Broadcasting Corporation! It has been wonderful to see how confident the children now are to 'perform' in front of their peers.
In Computing this week, we have explored further online safety messages as part of our extended Safer Internet Day work. In Maths we have continued in both year groups to explore all things fractions. We have continued using the phrase 'The whole has been divided into ? equal parts' to help us with calculating the denominators for our fractions. In Reading we have continued with our class novel 'Kidnap in the Caribbean.' We have also explored how to build basic switches as part of our battery operated light units through exploring circuits.
Year 4 - please look our for further information from Mr Kyriacou about residential packed lunches (Day 1) and drop off arrangements. Those not attending will arrive at school as normal and work alongside the Year 3s in Cedar class Tuesday and Wednesday on Year 4 learning challenges.
Have a wonderful weekend
Mr Dring and the Cedar team
