Eagle Class

Welcome to Eagle Class!

Your Year 6 Team

Mr Coulam (Class teacher)

Miss Sharpe (Teaching assistant)

In Eagle class, we strive to be the best version of ourselves every single day. We work tirelessly to improve, have high expectations of ourselves, collaborate freely and openly with our peers, activate our curious minds and find solutions to problems. In Eagle, we believe that ‘’every child can’’ achieve their dreams!

 

Enjoy the ride…

 

Routines:

P.E.

On a Monday and Wednesday, we have our PE lessons. PE on Monday will be delivered by the class teacher, and CTO Sports will deliver PE on a Wednesday. On these days, children are expected to come to school in their P.E kit, ensuring they are adhering to the school’s PE kit expectations.

Homework

Homework will mainly consist of Maths, reading, spelling, punctuation and grammar tasks. Homework will aim to secure their learning from a particular skill the children have been learning the previous week. This year, Eagle class will be using an online learning platform called SATs Companion, which is designed to support children’s understanding to a deeper level, however, at their own pace with designated learning specifically for the needs of the individual. When given, homework will be set and given to the children on a Friday. It is expected that the children hand their homework in digitally on Thursday.

Reading

Reading is a continuously asked of task of all children in our school and arguably even more so important in Year 6. Children in Eagle class are expected to read at home every day for up to 20 minutes, either independently or with an adult. It is important that the children read a variety of material, such as fiction, non-fiction and poetry. If you discuss the book after your child has finished, this will help you to check his/her understanding of what has been read. We encourage this to be a whole family event to help boost the children’s confidence when reading. Please sign and date your child’s reading record and number each session, to ensure your child receives the appropriate certificate or reward. The children are then responsible for changing their books, as necessary, during break times and allocated library sessions.

In Eagle Class, we promote a love of reading! Reading strategies are taught in Reading and English lessons in line with our VIPERS approach.

"So please, oh PLEASE, we beg, we pray, go throw your TV set away.

And in its place you can install, a lovely bookshelf on the wall."
