Welcome to Cedar Class with Miss Barker 

 We are a Year 5 class and all work together to grow, develop and achieve success whilst having fun!  In Cedar class, children are encouraged to be active, independent learners preparing each individual for the challenges of Upper Key Stage 2.  We want the children in Cedar class to have high expectations of themselves and be the best that they can be. 

Throughout this year we will cover a range of themes including: 

- Marvellous Mayans 

- Walk like an Egyptian 

- Crime and Punishment 

Throughout these themes the children will take part in a range of activities and experiences across the curriculum. The children will learn to play a brass instrument and some children will continue with their swimming lessons.  We will also have a day experience at Rock and River. 

Key information:  

  Break time snacks:  Toast is available at break time payable via SCOPay. This needs to be paid for in advance.   

  PE: Please send the children’s PE kit at the start of each half-term ensuring it is all labelled.  It should remain in school until the end of the term.
