Hi Everyone,
It has been another busy and productive week in Year 3/4!
In English, the children have been working hard on their kennings. They published their work yesterday, and these are now proudly displayed in our book corner.
In Maths, we have begun our new unit on multiplication and division, with a focus on the 4 times tables today.
We have also finished reading Thorfinn the Nicest Viking.
Thank you again for the boxes you sent in for Art—they were greatly appreciated, and the children will be bringing them home this week, all beautifully decorated.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend, and we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday for the Christmas performance.

Hi Everyone,
It has been another busy and productive week in Year 3/4!
In English, the children have started learning about kennings. We explored the rules for creating a kenning, and the children really enjoyed experimenting with their own ideas.
In Maths, we have been learning about multiplication (2, 5 and 10) and simple division. The children have shown great enthusiasm and are growing in confidence with these skills.
In Guided Reading, we have now finished Thorfinn the Nicest Viking and completed some comprehension activities based on the story.
In Art, the children have completed their boxes, decorating them using their five senses. Next week, we will evaluate them and reflect on the creative process.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend,
Mrs Ward and Miss Maher

Hi Everyone,
It has been another busy and productive week in Year 3/4!
In English, the children have been working hard to publish their non-chronological reports on the Vikings. They have taken great pride in presenting their final pieces neatly and clearly, showcasing everything they have learned.
In Maths, we have now moved on to our new unit on multiplication and division. The children have made a great start and are already showing confidence with the new concepts.
Thank you once again to all the parents/carers who have sent in shoe boxes for our upcoming project. These continue to be greatly appreciated and we have started painting the boxes. They will be decorated next week.
Hope to see you at the Christmas fayre!

Hello Everyone,
We’ve had another wonderful week in Cedar Class!
In English, we have been learning SPaG skills to support our non-chronological report writing. The children are beginning to apply these features confidently in their own work.
In Maths, Year 3 have been working on addition, while Year 4 have started exploring measurements. Everyone has shown great focus and enthusiasm during our lessons!
In Art, we created abstract cut-ups inspired by the British artist Howard Hodgkin. The children loved experimenting with colour and shape to make their own vibrant pieces based on the feeling of warmth.
In Guided Reading, we have been practising summarising and also read about Children in Need, learning about how this charity helps others.
We also celebrated Odd Socks Day on Thursday, which was lots of fun as part of Anti-Bullying Week.
A plea to parents and carers:
As part of our next Art project, please could your child bring a shoebox (or a similar-sized box)? We will be creating sensory boxes inspired by the British artist Anish Kapoor.
The children can also bring in materials that engage the senses — for example, items that can be touched, smelled, seen, heard, or (safely) tasted.
Please send in these materials next week, as we will begin designing our boxes soon.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs Ward and Miss Maher
