Welcome to Owl Class (Y5/6)
SCHOOL YEAR 2024-2025
Owl Class is a mix of Year 5 and 6 pupils. Our class team is Mrs Law (Class Teacher) Tuesday - Thursday and Miss Pearson (Class Teacher) on a Monday. We are supported by our Teaching Assistant Mrs Holloway.
Homework
Spelling: The children receive spellings on a Monday (listed in planners and on this class page - see below). These are practised in school and at home throughout the week and tested the following Monday.
Reading: Children are encouraged to read at least 5 times a week. We have a 'Rainforest' reading reward scheme in class. Children earn leaves and work towards rewards such as stickers, certificates, bookmarks etc
Maths: We set times table homework, through the use of Times Tables Rockstars. Children have their own log in to this website and are encouraged to practise their times tables in order to become fluent and confident. Other Maths homework is given as and when appropriate.
We also set homework through 'Century Tech' each week for the children to complete.
PE days:
Currently (Autumn term 2), our PE sessions are on a Tuesday and a Friday. Children are encouraged to come to school on these days in their PE kit. This half term we are doing dance and gymnastics!
