                                  Scarlett - a fantastic attitude to learning

Monday 26th September

 

This week, Cedar will be competing against Beech in a fierce Times Table Rock Star battle!!!

The battle will start on Friday 30th September and will end on Friday 7th October, giving the children plenty of time to rack up their points. As exciting as this will be, it is also very important the children use this site regularly in order to strengthen their times table knowledge. Each child was given their username and password last week so we look forward to seeing the results. GOOD LUCK CEDAR!!!

Good afternoon all!

 

This is a message just to say a HUGE thank you to all of the children who came to Kingswood this weekend, you were truly superstars! It was lovely to see so many set themselves goals, face obstacles and overcome them through teamwork, perseverance and spirit. 

 

Here are just a few pictures of some children having a great time (the rest are on the Facebook page)...

We have written our Big Write, which was a recount based on the book, The Day of Ahmed’s Secret. Well done to everyone in Cedar for their hard work this week, special mention to Harrison, this week’s Teacher’s Award winner and Tiana, for her high standard of presentation.
