Welcome to Cedar Class

Hello, my name is Miss Kearney, and I am very pleased to be the teacher of Cedar Class this year. In our class, we are lucky to have Mrs Slade as our teaching assistant.

In Cedar class, there will be lots of new opportunities. Although these may come with new challenges, we are always willing to ‘have a go’. We understand that everyone makes mistakes and that these help us to learn. We are all a team in Cedar class, and show respect and kindness to our peers to create a happy classroom. I am especially excited to start the year with our DT topic- ‘How does a boat float?’.

There are a few things we need to remember this year:

• PE kit: your full (named) PE kit needs to be in school every day.

• Reading: We strongly encourage daily reading at home. Please listen to your child’s reading regularly and record this in the back of their orange Learning Destination (Homework book); Please ensure that this is brought in every morning. Progress will be recorded on a display in the classroom and rewards will be presented at regular milestones through the 100 club.

• Homework: Spellings and maths homework will be set on Friday each week and the work will be due in on the following Friday. Please encourage your children to write sentences using their spelling words.

• The learning destination book can also be used for any other home learning that your children may wish to do. They will always be rewarded for this.

I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and watching you grow as an amazing learner. We will have a great time together with lots of engaging activities throughout the year.
