Weekly Update
Mrs Wolfe - 19 Nov 2020
We had a fabulous Children in Need Day last Friday! We started off the day by supporting Joe Wicks to finish the last 25 minutes of his challenge. I have to say we were blown away by his determination and perserverance. It was great to see everyone in their Pudsey colours and outfits - the money is still coming in for Children in Need, which is great. Ted and Tom have now set themselves another challenge...to run 35 miles before the end of term! More to follow on this...watch this space!
This week we trialled a whole morning of Seesaw in class. We had an amazing time! I was so impressed with how the children were able to navigate their way around the learning platform. All children in Cedar are now able to use Seesaw, have recieved their login (have been shown how to do this) and should be able to do so independently at home - if for any reason you are having any problems with technology, please let me know as soon as possible.
Homework is still published on the website each week and bits and bobs are being uploaded onto Seesaw weekly.
Our work on negative numbers has gone very well this week and we completed our objectives today, translating our understanding into reasoning and problem solving. We are working hard to ensure that we read our problems carefully - working out how many steps we need to take in order to solve it.
We're building up to our playscripts for The Tempest and have been working on dialogue this week, ensuring we weave in our understanding of the present perfect tense. Some pupils used Seesaw to record their dialogue and tomorrow we are looking forward to using our drama skills to put our dialogue into action!
Cedar are revisiting internet safety this week and have been thinking carefully about how we can use soical media in a fun and healthy way.
Mrs Hatch, our PE leader at St Nicholas, has shared with us a great PE resource created by the Youth Sports Trust (YST) which the children can access at home if they wish whilst after school clubs are restricted. Here is some more info as well as a link to the youtube video:
The Youth Sport Trust have taken the step to deliver a free virtual after school club as part of a national response to the second lockdown. The 30-minute club will take place at 5pm each weekday and be led by a different member of the YST’s athlete mentor network, starting on Thursday 12 November with world no.1 female inline skater and 10-time British Champion Jenna Downing. The After School Sport Club will then run for five weeks until December 18 and children and young people can take part live by visiting our YouTube channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/YouthSportTrust
Have a great weekend and enjoy exploring more of Seesaw!
