Eagles
Eagles is a delightful class of hardworking children who are making the most of all the many opportunities available to them.
Mrs Andrews is the class teacher - she really enjoys teaching Years 5 and 6 and has years of experience with these age groups. We are very lucky to have Mrs Southern as our TA.
In addition to English and Maths, the children study a wide range of cross-curricular topics.
Outdoor pursuits are encouraged in Eagles class with children experiencing the delights of a 3 day residential to Portland where they take part in kayaking, raft building, coasteering and many problem solving activities resulting in lots of team building!! A 3 day residential to London where the children take in the sights of our capital city is also held. They experience a variety of enjoyable landmarks such as The Houses of Parliament. A trip to the theatre to see a West End production gives a 'Wow' factor for everyone!
We also participate in a whole range of sporting activities, including, tag rugby, athletics, cricket, hockey, high 5’s, football and the Mini Marathon.

A reminder that every Thursday this term we will be swimming at the Five Rivers Swimming Pool in Salisbury. Please bring swimming kit, a towel and goggles (if required). It is easier to leave jewellery, earrings and watches, at home on that day.
Secret Santa: the children are very excited about our class Christmas secret santa which will be held the last week of term. They all know who they will gift. It is good fun and involves no money. It is a case of finding out the persons likes and creating something in the form of making, baking etc which they can wrap up and bring into school.
Maths
Fractions: comparing fractions by denominators and numerators, adding and subtracting fractions with the same denominator and where one denominator is a multiple of the other.
All activities will involve reasoning and problem solving.
It is important the children still revise times tables.
