Cedar
Year 4 - Miss Cole
Welcome to our class page. We hope you will find it useful and it will let you know what we are currently learning about in school.
Teacher Bio
Hello, my name is Miss Cole and I am teaching Cedar class this year. I enjoy going for walks, baking and spending time with my family. I am looking forward to getting to know the children in Cedar and having lots of fun together.
Mrs Cereda will be supporting Cedar.
Important Class Information
Our main classroom door for the start and end of the school day is the Cedar playground door.
Reading books can be changed throughout the week as the children finish them. All children should bring their book and record in each day as the children will have opportunities to read throughout the week, it is especially important to ensure reading records are in school on a Friday to allow us to monitor weekly reading.
Our regular PE days are:
- Wednesday
- Friday
On these days, children should come to school in PE kit. Earrings should be removed or safely covered.
The children can visit the library in school at lunch times. Children should bring in their library book if they want to swap them.
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions that you may have, either at the door or via the office email account. admin@thepinesschool.org.uk
Emails will be passed onto the class teacher where appropriate.

A weekly home learning sheet will be sent home every Friday, and will be due back the following Thursday.
