Welcome to Eagle Class. We are a Year  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.

Term 1 Update

We have got off to an excellent start in Eagle class as term 1 continues.

In reading, we are enjoying ‘Who Let the Gods Out’ and in particular working on our inference skills.

In writing, we have been planning and writing a narrative piece based on a video called The Alchemist’s Letter. This has given us a great opportunity to develop our vocabulary skills and use our imaginations to build on what we have seen in the video.

In art, we are learning about Ancient Greek vases. We have created some positive and negative art pictures and, most recently, we have learnt specific patterns and have begun to apply these to our own designs.

Welcome Back

In Eagle Class, we have enjoyed exploring the etymology of words through our class poem ‘Newt’ that we also performed in a whole school service. Using the vivid descriptions, we delved into our creative side and sculpted our very own newts out of clay that we then painted using acrylic paints.

In maths we have been consolidating our skills in place value and familiarising ourselves with the structure of KS2 SAT arithmetic papers to make sure we know exactly how to answer questions. We have also enjoyed the new addition of Numeracy Ninjas to our maths learning and are excited to see who earns their black belt first.

Last Thursday we got our new topic off to a flying start with a Greek emersion day where we enjoyed learning about the ancient Greek alphabet and how to write our names, we cooked some traditional Greek food and tasted it, made laurel wreaths for our heads and investigated the useful Achimedes Principal in science.

We cannot wait to get stuck into all this year has to offer and are excited to share our journey with you.
