In Owl class we have our year 5 and 6 children with their teacher, Mrs Fleming. 

We have a fun packed and interesting programme covering two years. Please have a look at our Owl Class Rolling Programme under the 'Curriculum' tab.

We started our year in Owl class in the best way possible. We:

• Went to St Briavels Castle on our residential trip, we had a great time taking part in new activities, trying new foods and even taking part in a medieval banquet!
• In English we read the stories 'Star of Fear , Star of Hope' by Jo Hoeslandt, 'fly me home' by Polly Ho-Yen, 'Beetle Boy' by M.G Leonard, 'young, Black and Gifted' by Jamia Wilson and 'Race to the frozen north' by Catherine Johnson.
• In maths we have our understanding of place value, addition and subtraction, fractions and multiplication and division. We also learned about unbalanced forces, ball skills, local field studies and street art.

We have some really enjoyed our trip to the church for our Harvest Festival, Nativity plays and our workshop where our parents came and helped us make our Christmas crafts.

In Spring 1, we enjoyed so many interesting and fun learning including:

• Our new class books- The Selfish Giant by Oscar Wilde and Shackleton's Journey by William Grill
• a girl power sporting event
• An athletics event
• A guide dog for the blind workshop
  and much much more...

And the fun doesn't stop there!

In Spring 2 we will be:

• having a clay work shop- kindly led by a grandparent of a child in the class
• celebrating World Book Day
• celebrating British Science week with our very own investigation 
  and much, much more...

PE

Supporting your child at home

Homework is set half-termly via Class Dojo, with a project for the children to complete. It gives the children the opportunity to share the interesting things they have learnt with you and develop their learning from class further. Please send completed homework projects to school on the first week after the holidays. 

Please contact Mrs Fleming if you need any additional resources or support with homework.

Reading

• 20 minutes daily with discussion around the text being the crucial element.

Spelling

• Use your workbook to practice the spellings we have learnt in class. There will be a test each Friday.

Maths

• 10 minutes at least once per week on Times Table Rock Stars.
• Maths sheets are sent home with the children either weekly or as a pack at the start of each half term. Please return these when complete.
