Cedar Week 6 Spring 2

Hello
We have thoroughly enjoyed bring our volcano unit to an end with our presentations of our homework projects - thank you for supporting them in their creations and bringing them into school on time. It was great to see all the fantastic and diverse ways of presenting their facts - from cakes, PowerPoints, 3D sculptures, videos and working models. This has definitely been a unit that has caught all of their imaginations.
Thank you for returning the permission slips so the children can participate in the Summer 1 Leeds City Council road safety sessions in and around school and the local area.
It was with sadness we said good bye to Miss Roberts this week but we wished her good luck with her new role outside of education.
I hope you all have a happy, fun and safe holiday.

Hello
What an exciting week - we are so proud of all of the children who were able to participate in the Joseph choir performances throughout the week, they were superstars! Thank you for your support with this we do appreciate it.
We have been learning about electric currents in circuits, fossil formation, limericks, tag rugby, why the Bible is important to most Christians and have now moved onto Fractions in both Year 3 and 4 Maths.

Hello
We have been extremely busy creating our own limericks as part of our poetry Writing unit and had lots of fun trying to find ambitious vocabulary that rhymes in 5 lines following the AABBA pattern.
The children have also been working hard on applying their Maths and Reading skills in their NFER assessments and I am so proud how their resilience, ability to always have a go and try new challenges has soared since the Autumn assessments. The children have asked me to pass on to you that they find time and measuring in litres/ml the trickiest part of Maths so far so please include them if you can if you are baking etc.
We have been joining the Year 5 children for the Joseph rehearsals this week and we hope you like our contribution as part of the choir ensemble. There are some very fast rhythms and high notes to hit! Thank you to all of you that are able to support the school production.
We hope you have a good weekend in the slightly raised temperatures.

Hello
I hope everyone is staying safe but having fun due to the forced closure of school by the weather - we were lucky to dodge it for our residential. Thank you again to all parents/carers who ensured their children were able to experience the Year 4 residential or the additional Year 3 learning opportunities in school this week. Below, I will upload a selection of the many 1000s of photos we were able to take at Nell Bank as soon as they are available. Don't worry Year 3s - whilst I was there, Nell Bank confirmed our dates for your residential next year!
Despite the reduced timetable this week, we have been very busy publishing our non chronological reports about extreme Earth events, continued to measure in mm, cm, mm and also started to calculate perimeters of rectilinear shapes. In Science, we have started our Electricity unit and continue to develop our chronology skills using Mary Anning's life achievements involving fossils as our subject.
Have a great weekend

Hello
Yet another fun filled week of learning linked to Volcanoes, Fossils, Electricity and of course culminating in the World Book Day on Thursday - what a creative way to celebrate the children's favourite book choices.
It's also been great to hear the excited chatter amongst the children about their homework project ideas linked to our topic this half term and I can't wait to see their wonderful creations.
For Year 4s, please take note of the weather forecasts when deciding what to pack for your children on residential as it's currently predicted to be colder and maybe snowier than we envisaged!
I wish you a happy, safe and fun weekend.
