Key Information

Our classroom door opens at 8:40 am each morning. The children must be in the classroom and ready to learn by 8:50 am. The school day ends at 3:20 pm.

Owls Class has two weekly PE sessions: gymnastics on Tuesdays and swimming on Wednesdays. Please ensure the relevant kits are brought in on these days with your child’s name on them.

Homework
Each Friday, Owls will be given their homework for that week. This will typically consist of one sheet of mathematics and another for grammar; these will be stuck into their pink homework books. It is important for all students to be reading at least 5 days a week and continue to fill in their reading journals. Children should regularly be playing TTRS and learning their 5/6 spellings.

We mark homework on Friday morning so please remember to return the homework books before this.

Areas of Learning

We are learning about WWII in history, relationships in PSHE, Animals, Including Humans, in science, and reading Letters from the Lighthouse in English. We are also researching what it would have been like to be a child evacuee in the UK during the war. In maths, we are moving on to fractions and applying our times tables knowledge to support us with this unit.
