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.

I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday enjoying the sunshine!
This term, we will be starting some new exciting topics and challenges which they bring. It is also the count down of weeks before the Year 6 sit their KS2 SATs in May. I know they are all working hard, will try their hardest and show what they are capable of.
Reminders:
Reading books and records must be brought in daily. Children should be reading with an adult every day.
Homework will continue to be handed out on the same days:
Maths - out on Monday, in on Thursday.
