Cycle Awareness Day

Cedar have been busy this afternoon with their Cycle Awareness Day. The children learnt about how to keep themselves safe on their bikes and scooters, discussing the use of correctly fitted helmets, lights and high visibility clothing. The children all had a chance to practice their skills on two different courses, focusing on using their brakes to stop correctly. Their was lots of rosy cheeks and smiling faces at the end of the afternoon!

Cedar are scientists.

Cedar have been scientists this week, investigating if an ice cube melts faster in a hot or cold liquid.

First they predicted what they thought would happen. 

"I predict that it will melt quicker in hot water as an ice lolly melts in the sun," Sydney said confidently.

Next thermometers were used accurately to measure the temperature of the liquids.

" Wow! the hot water is 52 degrees Celsius," Adi exclaimed. 

Finally we recorded our results in a table and discovered if our predictions were correct.

Oliver has made lots of progress in his writing over this half term and should feel very proud of his award. Well done Oliver!

Build-a-bear trip

This week, Pine class went to Stratford to visit the Build-a-bear store, where they made their own bears. The store staff helped them to stuff and sew up their bears and they were all given their own unique names- as well as magic hearts, put inside them to bring them to life! The children thoroughly enjoyed the trip, as well as the journey; they were very excited to go on a train! Many thanks to all the parents who supported us and volunteered to come with us.

Star Writer: Pine

This week, our star writer is Florence. During rainbow write, Florence designed her own 'biscuit bear' and described it using lots of verbs and adjectives, just like the story by Mimi Grey. Florence has also been writing lots in her choice time and has written lots of facts about Winnie the Pooh as part of her home learning challenge. Great effort, Florence!

Star writer: Mulberry

 

Congratulations Andreea for winning star writer! This week Andreea wrote a fact sheet about all the things she has learned about different types of bears and their habitats, ensuring she used factual language in her writing.

Attendance champions Cedar hit Kispace

The children in Cedar class have been talking about it all term. The day finally came - they were going to Kidspace!

After a very excitable journey and safety talk from the staff at Kidspace they were let loose around the area. 

From go-karting to rock-climbing, exploring to firing soft balls at one another - Cedar did not stop for the whole 3 hours! 

Some children braved the climbing wall.

"I'm going right to the top", Summer-Rose.

"I want to do it again!" Evie. 

At one point there was even a battle between the children and teachers...it's fair to say the children definitely won!

It didn't stop there, next up was go-karting.

Finally the trip had to come to an end, just a quick snack stop before we headed back to school.

In Cedar we take pride in our excellent attendance. The children are very committed to the number 1 rule at Broadford. We hope to be returning to Kidspace next term!
