Hello and welcome to Eagle class, where I will be your teacher and Mrs Durr will be our teaching assistant.
In Eagle class, we believe the best in you; want the best for you and expect the best from you. We see mistakes as learning opportunities and there will certainly be plenty of learning going on (and some fun too!).
You can look forward to some exciting learning from the very start when you will be applying for a year 6 job; learning about natural disasters and, judging the first class book you would me to read through our ‘World cup of Books.’ In the spring term, we step back in time and, not only learn about but, experience what it was like living during World War 2. We continue to learn about light and electricity and create our own propaganda art. And as for the summer term – well its jam packed with learning about different 3D artists, completing field work on Highdown Hill and taking part in the fiver challenge as well as a residential trip, a Year 6 production and so much more.
Your Year 6 journey is going to be awesome – a year of creating amazing memories, embracing new learning opportunities and developing skills for the future.
My hope for you is that you end the year with a huge smile on your face, knowing that you have achieved your God-given potential.
