Welcome to Owls Class

 

Miss Notaro is the teacher in this class, which is made up of Year 5 and Year 6 pupils.  Miss Ireland supports children in this classroom and covers Miss Notaro's PPA.  

This year, Owls are studying History and Geography through the Shang Dynasty, World War Two, Census, Mountains, The Americas and Field work Investigations. They are also developing their scientific enquiry skills through Forces, Light, Electricity, Animals including humans and Living things and their habitats. Check out the curriculum pages for more information on their learning. Year 6s are extremely excited about their class residential trip to PGL in the summer term. The Year 5s get the opportunity to be involved in a school camp out which is always lots of fun! As well as this, they make great use of our fantastic swimming pool - allowing them to achieve the KS2 statutory requirement of swimming 25 meters.

PE: 

Owls have PE on a Monday. Children must come into school wearing PE kit. Any changes to this will be announced on dojo. 

Enrichment Thursdays - Inspire and Thrive: 

Every Thursday, children will enjoy an exciting Enrichment Afternoon, designed to broaden their experiences, develop new skills and inspire a love of learning. Through a variety of engaging activities, children will have the opportunity to develop their creativity, teamwork and independence across areas including Sport, Outdoor Learning, Design Technology, Art and Music. The children can come into school wearing PE kit on this day. 

Reading:

We encourage Owls to read at least two books every half-term to further their love of reading and broaden their vocabulary. We also take regular trips to our well-stocked library to further enhance their love for reading.  Your child’s reading level is decided through our accelerated reader programme - these books are the books they need to read when reading to an adult. If you would like your child to read a certain book in class, can you please check that it is within their banded area (which can be found in their reading record) and then they will be able to take a book quiz once they finish. We assess these levels every half term. If your child finds a book they want to read which is not within their band, they can of course have this as their pleasure for reading book and complete quizzes on these too! 

Homework:

There is a termly homework grid which has a variety of tasks for children to choose from. Four tasks should be completed each half-term  (one from each curriculum area).  Timestables, spelling and reading are also an expectation.
