Our Learning this Term
Welcome to Autumn Term in Owls!
We are an enthusiastic class of 26 who have a passion in particular for PE, Science and Maths! This is an exciting term with lots of visitors (including artists for charcoal workshops, PC Davis to talk about online safety, an author-Hamed Amiri- to share his inspiring journey, the local church team talking about Advent as well as actors running a storytelling drama workshop).
We have a range of topics to look forward to this term, including learning all about our blood and the circulatory system in Science. Our Geography and History topics are linked as we are studying the Mayans and comparing the UK with Mexico. Owl class are enjoying reading the Oh Maya Gods! by Maz Evans which connects with our History topic.
In Maths we will spend time focusing on fractions, percentages and decimals before moving on to shape and angles. Alongside our daily Maths lessons we also have a daily fluency lesson to ensure regular practise of our skills.
We are also very glad to begin learning about our brains with our ‘MyHappyMind’ modules ‘Meet your brain’ and ‘Celebrate’.
At the end of the term we will spend some time reflecting on Christmas with visits from the church team as well as some time with our younger buddies crafting and more!
I can’t wait to share the term with you all.

Owl Class Routines
Reading
We expect children to read for a minimum of 15 minutes every night and for this to include reading to an adult at least five times a week. Please sign and date your child’s reading journal and feel free to add any comments regarding their reading.
Books and reading records need to be in school every day. Year 6 children are responsible for choosing their own reading book from the coloured band recommended by their teacher. Children are encouraged to read books from home alongside their school reading book and to record these in their reading records.
Maths and English Homework
Maths and Grammar homework will be set every Monday and will be due in the following Monday. Children are also encouraged to use Times Table Rockstars to support recall of their times tables.
Spellings
Spellings will be set every Monday and tested on the following Monday. Children will practise daily in school. Homework practice sheets are due in on a Monday morning.
PE
Our PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Please can children come to school in their (named) PE kit. Regardless of the weather, we could be outside so please ensure that children bring season appropriate kit.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me or catch me at the end of the day if you have any questions.
