It was wonderful to see all our children dressed up for World Book Day last week either in their pyjamas or as their favourite book character.

We have a an optional dress down day this Friday 13th March. If your child would like to take part they can come dressed in non-uniform in exchange for a donate for the PTA Easter bingo.

What another fantastic week we have had in Willow Class!

In our Maths, we have been adding 1 with the help of our Numberblocks friends. We have been using the number sentence each time e.g. 1+1=2, 2+1=3, 3+1=4 and so on. We then explored what number comes next, and why. We were giving reasons like, 3 is before 4 because 3 is 1 less than 4 and 4 is 1 more than 4.

In Drawing Club, we have drawing and writing about adventures from the story "What the Ladybird Heard." Some children created adventures based on what happened in the story, and some children used there imagination and created some new adventures for the ladybird and other characters from the story.

World Book Day was a fantastic day and the children all looked amazing in their outfits. We enjoyed a range of challenges and book day related activities. The buzz of the day was trying to guess who the Traitors were and we had lots of correct answers!

What a jam packed week! We have thoroughly enjoyed throwing ourselves into DT this week. We have tasted, prepared, designed and evaluated different foods. I am so proud of how adventurous the children have been 🥒 🫑 🧀 Super sensible skills when preparing the food with our different equipment like knives and graters! I am sure if there are any hungry parents out there then our children from Cherry Class can prepare a healthy, balanced wrap for you!

We have enjoyed practising throwing and bowling skills in cricket 🏏 Some of our children also took part in our amazing circus club 🎪

World book day 2026 was a huge hit this week! We got fully into the Traitors theme this week- take a look at our school Instagram page to find out more!

Such a busy week! We spent some time food-tasting - fruits this week and matching them to labels and photographs. Lemon and lime were a big hit, despite the looks on the children’s faces! Plum was also popular, but not so much the avocado! But the ultimate winner was the pineapple - we didn’t taste it but the children spent really enjoyed feeling it, describing it and carrying it around with them! 🍍

We mixed colours to make brown and painted with own mix and played with the farm animals in the ‘mud’ (chocolate gloop).

And of course we enjoyed World Book Day! Dressing up, reading stories and completing special challenges. Next week, we have Science activities and aspirations week! It never stops in Cedar!

Nevermoor: The Trials of Morigan Crow

This week's book has been recommended by Mrs Davies.

I’ve really enjoyed sharing this story with Oak Class during our sacred story time, and I wanted to share it with everyone else too! If you enjoy a magical plot, you’ll definitely love this one. ✨📚

This fabulous new fantasy introduces a vivid and varied magical world, a heroine to truly champion, and a host of characters to become best friends with. Essences of Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket infuse the writing, but this is a story that stands on its own two feet, perfectly balancing the light and dark. Across a year, Morrigan rides a rollercoaster adventure discovering 'wundrous' new things, but underlying it lies the shadowy mystery of the feared and revered Wundersmith. Who exactly is he?

This week has been busy in Larch class!

We started off the week with our DT days. We learnt how to build simple circuits to light up a bulb and added switches to turn them on and off. We then created torches out of card and tinfoil and incorporated our circuits to make them light up.

We have also continued our swimming lessons this half term. The children have made great progress swimming on their front and back and they were all brave enough to jump in!

This Thursday was World Book Day! The children all enjoyed dressing up in a costume or being comfortable in the pyjamas. They enjoyed the Traitors inspired activities throughout the day and worked well together to work out which teachers had been sabotaging by using the clues.

Busy week in Oak Class! We had a great time dressing up for World Book Day, the children looked fantastic and we had a great day figuring out who were the teacher-traitors (I was innocent obviously).

We wrote about some of our World Book Day characters, and continued working on our guided reading text about exploring space.

In the afternoon, we worked hard on sawing blocks of wood into perfect shapes to build our bridges-we will be gluing these together over the next few weeks in small groups

Finally, our maths has been very tricky, learning about multiplying whole numbers-also well done to everyone in Year 6 as they found out their High School places! Not long to go now...

This half term is flying by, and what another fantastic week we’ve had!

This week we had great fun dressing up for World Book Day. Sycamore pupils were really enthused by the “Traitors” challenges throughout the day and participated brilliantly, demonstrating excellent teamwork and problem-solving skills.

In our afternoon lessons, everyone enjoyed integrating with their year-group classes for our DT projects. Year 3/4 designed and built electrical torches, while Year 5/6 created wooden bridges. We certainly have some budding engineers among us!

Next week, we are looking forward to celebrating British Science Week and taking part in a range of practical investigations led by our Year 6 science team.

Monday this week we celebrated national  'Dr Seuss day' with lots of various colouring pages and listened to stories on youtube. We engaged in lots of pretend play and drawing/ playing games on large white board.

For 'Tasty Tuesday' this week we celebrated 'National Pie week' and made some delicious apple pies. We also took advantage of the weather getting better and we played outside!

Wednesday brought more sunshine so the session took place outside on the KS1 yard where we ran, balanced, kicked, caught, climbed and constructed some fantastic structures joined by Miss Corker. It is so good to be able to enjoy the sunshine outside again which we can't wait to do so much more now the weather is getting better.

Thursday was 'World book day'. We had lots of Book character colouring sheets and made some brilliant folded bookmarks. We also got lots of our recyclable materials out and did some junk modelling. We finished off the session with a really fun group game of sock dodgeball!

Film night Friday we ate pizza and watched the animated version of the Addams family.  We made great spring pictures of flowers in plant pots and bouquets cutting, glueing and sticking pictures. We finished off the evening with another game of sock dodgeball and brain break activities on youtube.
