Cedar Week 6 Autumn 1 w.b 09.10.23
Posted: Oct 10, 2023 by: Mr Dring (p.dring) on: Cedar Tree Class
Hello
This week we are continuing to explore the different bones in a variety of animals as part of our Science unit. The class 'glow in the dark skeleton' caused quite a stir on Tuesday morning! In writing, the children are mid way through drafting and editing their own recounts of our trip to Murton Park and these will soon some of these will be going on display in the corridor of school to celebrate their developing descriptive writing skills.
Year 3 and 4 both have free access to Timestable Rockstars to practise their mental maths skills. The Department for Education has just released the latest details for the Year 4 statutory Multiplication Timestable Check (M.T.C) that all eligible Year 4 children have to take in early 2024. They are given 25 onscreen timed questions from any timestable up to 12x12=144. They are given 6 seconds to read, answer and type their answer. This is a Department of Education requirement test that school administers on their behalf and we do practise with the children however we have found those that are most confident to answer the questions also practised at home previously.
Year 3 appear to be continuing to enjoy their weekly Cooking lessons and make us all hungry when they return with their creations.
Year 4 - please keep a look out for your child's Residential letter - it should have been sent by the time you read this blog. If you Haven't received it - please contact the school office. We will hold a residential meeting for you nearer the time, but if you have any questions or concerns do let us know as soon as possible so we can support your child in being able to attend this to create memories of a lifetime.
Thank you for helping your child practise the class common juicy mistakes. This week we have continued to practise our Year 3 and 4 spellings so I have included these again for your reference if your child would like to practise at home too.
200 Common Exception word spellings
I look forward to seeing you at parents' evening next week - please contact the school office if you haven't received your link yet.
Have a wonderful and happy weekend.
