Hello Cedar class,

Our school year has come to an end and we couldn’t be prouder of you as a class. It has been an absolute privilege to teach each and every one of you and we are so happy with the well-rounded learners that you have become. You have tackled each day with enthusiasm and the home learning that you have completed is to a wonderful standard. We have been so impressed. Sadly, our time together was cut short but it has been so nice seeing the memories you have made in emails and the experiences you have shared with us on the phone.

The year 2020 will go down in history and the memories you will have made will last you a lifetime. You got through this and we are so lucky to have been your teachers; you are so ready for the next chapter in your story.

So, it’s time to kick back, relax and enjoy your summer holidays because you deserve it more than ever. We cannot wait to see you all in September. You’ve got this Cedar Class. Stay safe, smile and remember that you are ready and you are amazing! See you when you are in juniors!

Week beginning Monday 13th July 2020

Hello Cedar class! We hope you are all okay and looking forward to the summer holidays. We have all been very busy in school with our ‘bubbles’, we hope you are all having the best time at home!

We hope you all enjoyed National Chocolate day on Tuesday, Gabriella certainly did by baking delicious brownies with her sisters, she also visited the woods and made an excellent butterfly collage! Mrs Brown made a scrumptious afternoon tea for her Mum’s Birthday and visited some friends for a BBQ. Mrs Forster went out on Sunday for a lovely lunch in a restaurant garden. Miss Jaques decorated her son’s bedroom with a ‘Dinosaur’ theme and made a chocolate cake with her daughter.

Have a wonderful week and hopefully the sunshine will come back to visit us. Stay safe and speak to you soon. We cannot wait to see you all!

Isla has also been having fun in the kitchen making her own dough and home-made pizzas! She has made an incredible project about red deer, which is a brilliant read! Darcy has been doing her ‘Beautiful Britain project’ about rabbits and she drew the most wonderful pictures to support her information. Aarush has completed some fantastic work for his project on Insects! He has included information about different habitats and detailed diagrams! Gabriella has had a wonderful week that has included releasing her butterflies into the wild, finishing her incredible project on butterflies (including an informative poster that includes flaps to show hidden facts) and went to Portsmouth to visit family members that she hasn’t seen in six months! What a wonderful time you are all having. Please do keep sending in anything you would like us to see because we love receiving them!

This week Miss Jaques’ sunflowers have finally started blooming after nurturing them for three long months, they are now over six foot tall! She has also bought a gazebo for her garden so her children can go outside in the sunshine. Mrs Forster has got her first runner beans from the seeds she planted for your science investigation which she is very happy about! Mrs Brown has been helping Miss Jarrett sort out lots of lovely new books for Big Reading and the school library.

We hope you are all staying safe and well, have a lovely week!

Week beginning 22.6.20

Hello Cedar Class, how are you? Miss Jaques really enjoyed talking to some of you on the phone last week and the photos she has been receiving are putting a big smile on her face. Harry C made an incredible wooden Bug Hotel to go in his garden and used real tools to build it, Well Done Harry! Manvi has been working extremely hard on her ‘Beautiful Britain’ project and chose a ‘Little Owl’ as her animal. She has competed some excellent diagrams and informative writing. Gabriella has also been enjoying our ‘Beautiful Britain’ project. She has chosen a ‘Butterfly’ after studying the Life Cycle of a Butterfly at home with real life Caterpillars! She has produced some excellent drawings and writing about Butterflies. Icelia created a wonderful nature drawing and Swayam made a super plane out of Lego! Keep up all the excellent home learning Cedar Class.

Miss Jaques and Mrs Forster have been working with their ‘Bubble’ of children this week and they have been settling in nicely. Miss Jaques was able to sit in her mum’s garden for a cup of tea for the first time in nearly three months which she enjoyed. Mrs Brown has been printing off all the lovely ‘Lockdown’ photos that you have all been sending in and has been sticking them into our Cedar Year Book. Mrs Forster has been going on some lovely dog walks and even got caught in a rain shower which the dogs really enjoyed!

Keep sending your photos in and have a lovely week!

Week beginning 15.6.20

Hello Cedar Class! We hope you are having a brilliant week, even though the sun seems to have disappeared. We hope you are enjoying all the work on the website for you to try, we have been hearing that lots of you have enjoyed making rainbow pizzas and have been thinking about how to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

This week Miss Jaques has been in school planning the topics for Autumn Term and has been preparing to look after a group of children from next week. At home she also managed to film one of her butterflies emerging from its chrysalis. Her children were amazed to see the transformation happen. Miss Jaques’ sunflowers enjoyed the rain this week and are now about four-foot tall, hopefully they will flower soon.

Mrs. Forster has been rearranging the furniture in her house this week to make her home feel more spacious. She is also looking forward to having a friend over for dinner Saturday evening. Mrs Brown is still making new comfy cushions for her garden chairs and had a church meeting. We have all been giving our classrooms a fresh lick of paint to tidy up the walls ready for when you all return!

We are still very much enjoying receiving emails about your ‘At home’ antics! Archie has been having lots of fun with his brothers and has even been having tree climbing a go! Gabriella made an excellent clock to help with her ‘Time’ work in maths. Harlie has been very busy making a ‘zoo’, cooking home-made pizza and even went for a swim in the sea! She also went on a woodland adventure collecting sticks, stone, leaves and acorns! Swayam completed some excellent leaf rubbing and Stanley’s bean plant is now towering over his head; its climbing up the garden wall!

We are still missing you all and cannot wait to see you soon!

Have a lovely week and let’s wish back the sunshine!
