Cedar Week 5 Summer 1 - w.e 17.05.24
Posted: May 14, 2024 by: Mr Dring (p.dring) on: Cedar Tree Class
Hello
What a mixed weather week! We have been delving into the depths of our imaginations as part of our new Writing unit based on character and setting descriptions in our story writing. The children have really enjoyed our class novel 'There's a Pharaoh in our bath' as we reach it's exciting end. We have continued in History and Geography to explore Egypt (modern and ancient) to answer our I wonder question 'I wonder why the Egyptian civilisation lasted so long.'
It was a great pleasure to get the opportunity again to see all of the children practise and apply their cricket skills during Wednesday's cricket lesson - some great examples of accurate distance throwing and precise batting skills.
As mentioned last week, we have started to use our digital photography editing skills to create some inspiring exhibits for the annual local Art Exhibition - watch out for further information in the future about where you can go to view the children's work on display locally.
Please let us know if you happen to forget a water bottle for your children (it happens to all of us) and we can then make sure they have access to fresh water throughout the day. Thank you.
Maths - both year 3 and 4 have been developing their time telling skills. However, most children have said during lessons that they've never seen an analogue clock (one with hands rather than electronic) except in the classroom. If you can, please take any opportunity to develop this life skill with your child when out and about (or at home if you have an analogue clock). I've attached some support materials below to support this learning in addition to what we are using in the classroom.
FORPS - next Friday is Make the Rules Day. The bespoke class rule Cedar class children have voted for is to play games in school. If your child would like to bring in their own board/card game (no electronics) they can. Please make sure they are age appropriate so nothing aimed at over 7 years.
Stay safe.
Mr Dring.
