Welcome to Eagle Class. We are a Year 5  and 6 class and we love learning! Please keep visiting our class website page as we will update it regularly. Our most recent learning will be at the top of our page.

Please see the documents below for our yearly overview and planning pathways.

Eagle Class have got off to a great start in Term 1!
In maths we have been consolidating and building on our place value knowledge by reading, writing, ordering and comparing numbers and beginning to multiply and divide by 10, 100 and 1000.
In writing we have been learning to retell our first story ‘Why the sky is so high’ and have looked at some of the grammatical features in detail.
In reading we have been enjoying our first text – an extract from Stig of the Dump. We have talked about some of the vocabulary that we were unsure of and have discussed the author’s choice of language.
In our afternoon lessons, we have begun our history topic by learning key vocabulary linked to warfare and discussing how WW1 started. In art, we watched a video about our focus artist – Fiona Rae – and earnt many raffle tickets with our excellent answers to a quiz about her work.
In science, we have begun with a recap of living things and worked with our peers to group living things in different ways. In PSHE, we have started the year with a positive mindset by setting goals that we want to achieve and have displayed these on bunting in our classroom to keep us motivated all year!

Eagle class have been continuing their hard work as we settle into Term 1.

In maths, we have worked on partitioning numbers and ordering and comparing decimals.

In writing, we have planned and written our own stories with a meaning or moral behind them. There have been some fantastic story settings – New Zealand, South America, the planet Mars to name just a few!

In reading we have studied a diary entry of a WW2 evacuee. We have had some fantastic discussions understanding what evacuation meant for those children.

In our afternoon lessons we have been making more links to our war topic by learning to sing ‘The White Cliffs of Dover’ and using graphic scores to help us understand pitch in music. In science we have continued our work on living things and have been working out ways to classify plants.  We have also researched ways in which humans can impact habitats.
