This half term we are building our communication and relationship skills in Lego Therapy. Each person in the group has a role, whether that be builder, supplier or director. The builder is not aloud to see the pictures of the instructions and must follow the from other peers in the group. Look at the pictures of the children's first active session to see how they got along.

In Design Technology, we have been looking at shell structures. We identified that the 3D shapes started out as nets. We spent some time trying to use nets to make our our 3D shapes. It was very tricky but we showed great resilience and perseverance along the way!

This half-term we are lucky enough to have our FA coach, Mr Williams, supporting our learning in PE. We will be learning some of the key skills of 'invasion games', which include football, netball and rugby. All of the skills and tactics are transferable to a variety of different sports and games.
This week we were looking at dribbling the football with both feet and passing the ball through a target. Children were challenged by the size of the target, by using both feet, and by using different parts of their feet to kick the ball. All the pupils enjoyed this session and were successful!

What a brilliant time the children (and staff) had on our annual residential to PGL. The children were absolutely amazing and a real credit to Boundary. They worked so well as a group and took part in a range of activities, showing resilience and determination. We hope the children had a great time - they have made memories that will last a lifetime!!
Reception enjoying lunch at school!

As part of Reception induction, this week they have enjoyed staying for lunch. The children were very sensible lining up and walking down to the hall. They used their manners when asking the lunch staff for their dinner and sat beautifully at the table. They have been trying hard to try new foods and cut up their food using their knife and fork. Well done Reception.

Year Two have been working really hard on understanding place value in numbers up to 100. We have been counting on and back within 100 and thinking about how many tens and how many ones make up different 2-digit numbers. We have been using a range of manipulatives, such as bead strings, place value counters, Base 10, Numicon and tens frames, to show different 2-digit numbers.

During P.E this week Fern class enjoyed learning a dance routine. We worked together to ensure we knew the choreography and that we were dancing in unison. This tested our team work skills as well as being a fun workout!

The Nursery children have been busy creating self-portraits. We talked about drawing a circle for the head and then adding their features inside the circle. I don't know about you, but I think they did a super job!

Having spent much of the past year learning remotely and spending much more time online becuase of lockdowns and isolations, this week in our computing lesson we have been learning about Online Safety. We have been discussing how we can all stay safe online and how we can teach others to stay safe online. We worked in groups to create a big sider diagrams outlining the dangers of not staying safe online and how we should behave when accessing the internet. We have all also logged on to our new Google Classroom and completed our independent task through there so we now know how to use it and to log in!

This half-term in Cedar, we are going to be eco warriors!
We started our topic by investigating Miss T's rubbish into what is recyclable or non-recylable. We discussed each item and how some parts of the items weren't and some were so we would have to separate them.
We learned about how must plasic there is in the oceans and seas and what we can do to help. We then used some of Miss T's rubbish to junk model our own sea creatures.

During our first week in year one we have been grouping and sorting! We have used a number of different objects and talked about what is the same and what is different. We have learnt we can sort by colour, by shape, by type and by size. We have learnt how to log into our own Seesaw account and post pictures of our learning! We have also been exploring our new classroom environment and completing lots of maths challenges in continuous provision.

Mr Willets has been putting Year 5 through their paces this week. Our PE lessons have been focussed on exercise, health and fitness. Pupils completed a range of circuit activities, which worked on their strength, stamina and flexibility. Both classes did really well and put in a lot of hard work. Their were lots of red faces at the end of the lesson. Well done, everyone!

As an introduction to our new Design Technology topic in which we will be creating healthy fruit snacks we spent the afternoon tasting different fruits such as pineapple, mango, strawberries, kiwi and Honey Dew melon alongside some other common fruits. After tasting the different fruits we came up with some words to describe the look, smell and taste of each fruit such as: sour, sweet, crunchy, delicious, succulent, yummy, round and disgusting. Despite not liking them all, everybody tried a little of everything.

This week in Year 4 we haven't wasted any time at all in getting back into our reading! We try our hardest to read at least once throughout the day to make sure we are expanding our learning and vocabulary. We have a HUGE range of books in our class libraries and have been taking full advantage of them since we have been back at school. This is especially handy as we are learning about fantasy settings in our Reading into Writing lessons! Remember... as Dr. Seuss says 'The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you'll go.'

In Mathematics we used 'Now Press Play' to recap key inforamtion from Year Two. This session focused on number bonds and we enjoyed going on a pirate adventure to solve riddels to crack a code and earn our riches!

Year 5 took to the water designing and creating their own rivers! They began by working in groups to decide how to create an accurate river that would eventually hold water. Using a range of materials they had to use their own thoughts, ideas and imagination to construct their river - some even added trees and boulders for extra realism! Ultimately, all groups took to the outside learning area where Mr. Taylor would 'test the flow' and pour water to down their creations to see if they held water! This launched our Geography topic of rivers as the children then came inside to look at some real rivers, begin to discuss their features and record their own questions that they would like to answer during the half-term.
Times Tables Rockstars battles!
Date: 10th Sep 2021 @ 9:51am
Each week, children in Year 5 and 6 will take part in a weekly times tables battle. There will be battles between:
- Year 5 and 6
- Oak and Elder
- Hawthorn and Rowan
Every Thursday we will publish on the class pages which class/year group are the winners. The more you go on TTRS at home the better your class/year group will do. This will also help you all to learn your tables and be able to recall facts quickly. Good luck everyone!

The children had such a brilliant time during their Forest School session this week.They found blackberries growing on a bush and apples and plums growing on trees! Of course we had to have a little taste and blackberries were the definite favourite! The children loved exploring outdoors and hunted for bugs, made pies in the mud kitchen and made patterns in the playdough using pinecones and sticks. We can't wait to visit the Forest School again!

Year Two have had a great first week! We had fun combining our Science topic on Living things and our Art topic on Sculpture, to create some interesting animal sculptures. We cut, folded and shaped paper to create some fantastic, colourful creatures. Then we got super sticky when we were challenged to create an animal sculpture from marshmallows and cocktail sticks. We all showed a great Growth Mindset, trying our best and helping each other.

In today's lesson we recapped over previous learning and the French words and phrases we could remember. We then looked at and listened to common classroom commands in French. We had fun repeating the words and phrases where we came up with actions to go with them. We can't wait to see what else we'll be learning in French in the coming weeks!

We were so excited to welcome back some of our Nursery children and meet our new starters this week and what a smashing bunch they are! All the children have settled in so well and it seems like we are in for a great year! Over the summer we have had some improvements made to our Nursery outdoor area and the children have been busy exploring it and working together to use the wonderful water wall! What a great start to the new term!
