Weekly update (week 2) w.e 16.09.22
Posted: Sep 14, 2022 by: Mr Dring (p.dring) on: Cedar Tree Class
Hello.
Yet another great week in Cedar class. The children have been practising and developing their descriptive skills using expanded noun phrases, a wider range of conjunctions to include (although, when, even though, because, nor, for), direct speech using inverted commas and refreshing their cursive handwriting. In Maths we have been practising their 2, 5 and 10 times tables and working on place value up to either 100 or 1,000. I recommend the free White Rose Maths app to boost children's mental maths confidence, which I use with my own daughter too for 1 minute a day and she loves it. It covers all ages from EYFS to Year 6.
The children's communication and teamwork skills have been used very effectively during our Outdoor Adventurous P.E lessons and I know the Year 4s are enthusiastic about their first swimming lesson of the year with school. Please may I remind you that if your child wears earrings that they do not wear them on P.E days do avoid any injuries to themselves or their classmates.
If you haven't returned your child's Murton Park permissions letter, please do so promptly so that your child does not miss out on this inspirational opportunity to enrich their learning alongside their peers across the whole of LKS2.
Thank you for keeping me updated on a morning with anything I need to know about your child to ensure that we can support them as soon as possible with any issues or concerns they may have.
I wish you and your families a happy and safe extended weekend and we will see you on Tuesday.
Mr Dring
