Eagles Class

Mrs Terry, Mr Staddon, Mrs Foote and Miss Stewart

Welcome back, Eagles class! We hope you had an enjoyable Easter holiday break and are ready for the Summer term and the exciting lessons we have planned for you!

We will begin our English lessons by looking at The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. This classic story will help us write descriptively, with a focus on settings and creating atmosphere. After half term, we will look at the text, Joan Proctor Dragon Doctor, which links well to our Science topic about animals. We will also be looking at poetry in the summer term.

In Maths, we will be using various forms of measurement. We will then be looking at statistics and how to present information in different ways. After half term, we will be looking at position and direction, describing positions on a grid using coordinates. We are continuing to prepare the children for their multiplication check in June, with a key focus on times table recall speed and accuracy. Remember your children can do this at home – we are encouraging all pupils to try to get 20/25 on a Soundcheck (they know what to do!).

As always, we have some exciting investigations to look forward to in science! Our new topic is Living things and their habitats. We will learn the different ways to group animals and take a closer look at the habitats of insects. The warmer weather will encourage us to use the school grounds and its array of hidden wildlife.

Our History enquiry question is Did the Ancient Romans or Ancient Greeks achieve more? allowing us to apply our knowledge of the Romans from Spring term, and discover new learning about the Ancient Greeks. In Geography, we will be looking at the similarities and differences between Somerset and Greece; this will include taking a closer look at landmarks and coastlines. We will continue with Christianity in Religious Education with a focus on Agape.

In computing, we will be focusing on editing photographs and learning about repetition in games within our programming unit. In PSHE our topic is Being My Best and then Growing and Changing.

Mrs Morton will continue to use her expertise to deliver exciting art lessons, linking our Geography topic with new sewing skills.

Mrs Gomes will continue to teach the pupils to speak, read and write in Portuguese – Muito Bom!

We are really looking forward to having you back in the classroom for a fun-filled term of learning and exciting activities.
