This week in Cedar we finally found out what happened at the end of 'Stig of the Dump.' The children have really enjoyed this story and have hopefully felt a sense of achievement in finishing a chapter book. This story has linked well with our History learning and this week we completed our pre-history timeline by finding out about the changes in Britain during the Iron Age. The children have engaged really well with this topic - they have remembered lots of facts and have asked lots of interesting questions.
In Science, we have been learning about our different teeth, the different layers of our teeth and how to look after them. The children were horrified to learn about germs on their teeth and the build up of plaque so rest assured that they will all be keen to brush their teeth twice a day with no arguments!
Don't forget the 2nd market day for the Year 6 Grow a Fiver project - this will take place on Wednesday after school in the school hall.
Have a great weekend and we will see you on Monday.
Mrs Ward and Miss Maher.
Cedar Tree - Week 15
Mr Dring (p.dring) on: Cedar Tree Class
On Monday we finished our assessments and the children all worked very hard and tried their best. In History we have continued with our topic and have been learning about how life in Britain changed during the Bronze Age. The children were really interested in Stone Henge and we had lots of discussions about where it came from and what it was made for.
We had a Mindmate assembly on Tuesday which was all about change, primarily transition as we think about moving up to our next classes. Some of the children said they were feeling anxious about this and we had some good discussions about how we can cope with change. In class we have been practising managing small changes by sitting next to different people for some of our lessons.
In writing we have published our non-chronological reports and we are really proud of the effort that the children have put into this piece of work - we will share some these in next weeks blog.
To finish off our week we have had 'Make the Rules' day and the children have enjoyed coming in the favourite clothes, bringing teddies and treats to eat and drink.
Have a lovely weekend and we will see you on Monday!

We hope you enjoyed your time off.
In English, we have started to publish our beautiful (and colourful) narratives based on various times and locations.
In maths, we started work on time. It was tricky for some of us, but we persevered!
Cedar Tree Class, week 11 - 23.05.2025

And that is another half term! We have had a lovely half term in Cedar getting to know each other whilst continuing to work hard.
This week the children have been finishing off their maths unit about money and have been using what they have learnt to solve problems.
In English we have been doing some work on fronted adverbials so that we can use them in our stories next half term.
In Science we have completed our unit on habitats and have had some good discussions about how humans can have both positive and negative impacts on habitats – some of the children told me that they are already involved in rewilding projects which is amazing!
Have a fabulous half term and we will see you all back for Summer 2.
