Cedar

Hello!

Having just joined the Robert Bakewell Team, I am proud to say that Cedar class has made a fabulous start to the new school year! I am so impressed with how well the children have settled back into the school routine and their attitudes to their learning.

This term’s main topic is all about Being me in my world and we will be exploring our learning question
“How can I express myself through making marks?

Our English lessons have begun by focusing on the basic fundamentals of composing and writing sentences, including using capital letters and full stops. We are also having a big push on handwriting and presentation so the more your child can practise at home, the better! We are using the Funnybones text for our first unit and then we will then be looking at poetry before half Term.

Maths this term is about place value and numbers to 10/ 50 and 100. We will explore building and making numbers using different tools and how to count, order and compose and compare numbers.

In Science, we are thinking about ‘What does my body need to survive?’, a topic about healthy lifestyles and looking after ourselves.

In Computing, we will be exploring the concept of technology and developing basic computer skills such as using a keyboard and a mouse.

Our Geography topic this term is ‘What is it like here?’, focusing on our local area and developing an understanding of map skills within our school and it’s grounds.

In Art, we are exploring creating lines and shape, and we will be showcasing some of our autumn leaves sketching during our Harvest Assembly.

In RE, we are learning about Hinduism.

We love reading at Robert Bakewell, so please try to read as much as possible with your child at home- the more they read, the more prizes they can earn! From half term, you can log your child’s reading activity online- this information will be included in your child’s reading pack before half term.

Our PE sessions are on Tuesday & Wednesday afternoons

Please ensure children have their indoor PE kit in school each week. This includes black shorts, white t-shirt and black pumps or trainers. it is best to have it in school all week as sometimes our slot needs to change due to other events in school.

Please ensure your school uniform jumpers, cardigans and hoodies are named. We also ask that the children have a water bottle in school everyday.

If you have any questions or anything that you would like to discuss, please feel free to speak to any of the adults in class at the end of the school day. You can also email the office at office@robertbakewellprimary.com.
