Cedar Class

Hello and welcome to Cedar class! My name is Miss Moore and I am the Year 5 class teacher. I also lead History and Geography across the school. I am in my fifth year of teaching, having joined the school in January 2023. My main aim when teaching is to create a safe, motivating environment where all children feel valued and can achieve their best. I also like to make learning as fun as possible, and am looking forward to the exciting activities we have planned for this year. In my spare time, I love wild swimming, art and reading.

Supporting the class this year is the wonderful Mrs Davey. This year, we have plenty of exciting events to look forward to, including our Year 5 Residential at the Viney Hill Christian Adventure Centre.  

Autumn A update

Cedar class had a very busy first half-term back. The children particularly enjoyed making mixed media self portraits and following the adventures of Professor Steg in Fortunately the Milk by Neil Gaiman. They have also been busy in the garden, harvesting last year's potato crop and making (and eating!) home-grown leek and potato soup. 

Year 5 Residential - Viney Hill 

Cedar Class had a fantastic time on an action-packed residential in April. Lots of laughing, fun and overcoming fears (the climbing wall was VERY high) made for a great three days. Crate-stacking seemed to be the favourite activity, but other challenges included navigation, climbing, archery, bush-craft and tunneling. New friends were made with the children from English Bicknor, who stayed alongside us, and Year 5 should be very proud of themselves for their 'can-do' attitude during the trip.

Tree Planting

Year 5 planted an apple tree in Gardening Club this week. Hopefully, after a few summers, there will be fruit to collect. Other tasks this week included planting pumpkin seeds, 'pricking out' lettuce seedlings and ensuring the beds are ready for planting.
