Growing In Faith and Learning
Welcome to Eagles!
Eagles Class is an Upper Key Stage Two class made up of Year 5 and Year 6 children. This year, Eagles will be taught by Mr Postlethwaite.
Reading
Children in Upper Key Stage 2 are encouraged to read a wide range of texts as often as possible. They have free choice over what they read, including books, magazines and newspapers. Please continue to encourage your child to read regularly at home, as this has a very positive impact on their learning across all subjects. Reading diaries will be checked every Friday, so children must ensure they are in school. In Key Stage 2, children are encouraged to write their own comments in their diaries, using prompts provided to support them.
If children read at least three times a week, they will receive a Dojo reward.
Six Book Reading Challenge
In Key Stage 2, each year group has the opportunity to complete the Six Book Reading Challenge. Each year group is set six books to try to read before the end of the year. These books can be read independently or with the support of an adult. Once all six books have been completed, children will receive a medal and certificate during family worship. Your child will bring their first reading challenge book home this week.
Times Tables and Spelling Tests
Times tables and spelling tests will take place every Thursday. Children should practise these throughout the week and ensure that their spelling sentence sheets are brought into school on Thursdays.
PE
PE lessons will take place on Monday and Thursday afternoons.
Children should come to school wearing their PE kit on these days. Please ensure that:
Thank you for your support.
Water Bottles
Children should bring a water bottle into school each day containing water only.
Dojo
We love to share what the children have been learning about in class, so please keep an eye on Class Dojo as well as our page on the website. The children will be awarded ‘dojos’ when we spot excellent behaviour or learning, so watch out for those too.
