Cedar 2023 Week 1 w/e 06.01.23
Posted: Jan 5, 2023 by: Mr Dring (p.dring) on: Cedar Tree Class
Hello and Happy New Year
Although a shorter week for the children, they have been extremely busy learning skills and knowledge linked to our new overarching topic of Vicious Volcanoes and Fragile Fossils. If you would like more detail of individual subject content please se our updated class page on the school website. I have been bowled over by the children's enthusiasm for the start of our topic and their willingness to share their knowledge already.
In Maths we continue with our multiplication and division units and already have celebrated two more of the children progressing from Bronze to Silver and Silver to Gold Award in their times tables. In addition, look out for your child coming home with post it notes - this is part of them practising their times table knowledge against the Department for Education timings of 6 seconds per question in preparation for the Year 4 Multiplication Check later this year. The post it note will give you and your child a clearer snapshot of their score out of 25 and any calculations that they need to practise more.
Year 4 parents also keep an eye out for further information regarding our Parent/Guardian meeting about the upcoming Residential - a perfect opportunity for you and your child to learn more about the trip and ask any questions before we go.
Well done to all those children who attended the Young Voices concert this week - I think they thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you
Mr Dring
