Welcome to Cedar class. We are a year 4/5 class. I am Lynn Parry and will be teaching your children this year.

Useful information

• In our classroom this year we will be taught primarily by Mrs Parry (class teacher), but at times by Mrs Smith, Sports Coaches and additional staff.
• Every week there will be a homework e-newsletter to parents/guardians uploaded to the class page, which will let you know what we have been up to that week. It will also detail any homework to complete. Spelling words to be learned for the following week will also be featured. 
• PE kits should be brought in appropriate for the weather. PE will take place on a Thursday (indoor) afternoon and a Friday (outdoor) morning for the first half-term. 
• A clean, fresh water bottle is to be brought into school every day and kept at the side of the classroom. Children can grab a drink of water at any point.
• Please name all clothing and equipment. Children have had a name label placed onto their reading logs.
• Reading logs / diaries - These will be used in school by the children as well as at home, so they will need bringing in each day but will be checked on a Friday. Children are welcome to bring in their own books to read from home, however we do have a large and varied selection in our school library. I also have a wide variety of books in my classroom, that the children can borrow. I also ensure that we have a 15 minute story time every day after break.
• Forms - It is worth keeping in mind that if you are able to fill in forms online for the office, or email these, rather than children bringing in printed versions, this is much quicker.
• Communication - If you have any queries, please feel free to use parentcorrespondence@st-peters.notts.sch.uk to contact the office, who will forward your queries on to me. I will also be present on the playground after school. If your query is urgent and requires an immediate response, please call the school office as the first point of contact on 01949 20226.
• Equipment - Please try to limit the number of large pencil cases / unnecessary items that are brought into the classroom. These can be a distraction! Children are asked to store these items in their tray and have been reminded to not bring anything in that is super precious to them. I will ensure that each child has access to a pencil, ruler, rubber, sharpener and the necessary pens required for each lesson.
