Owls (Year 5 and Year 6)
Welcome to Owl's Class Autumn Term 2024
Our topic this term is about life in Victorian Aldeburgh, as seen through the census returns. Our class book is ‘The Girl of Ink and Stars’ by Kiran Millwood Hargrave.
In Class 4, you have reached the top of the school! You have responsibilities which you can volunteer for, such as monitor jobs in the classroom or being a Play Leader. You might also want to run for Captain or Vice-Captain of a House team.
This term, P.E. lessons will be on Friday mornings, so please come to school in your P.E. kit, and you will remain in this all day, so you don't need to bring your school uniform to change into. As the weather will become colder, you could wear black leggings or jogging bottoms, rather than black shorts if you prefer, as well as your house colour
T-shirt and school hoodie or jumper/cardigan.
We will also be going to swimming lessons at Leiston Leisure Centre, on Tuesday mornings. It is really important that you have a named water bottle with you every day at school.
During the first half-term, many of you will be going to Derbyshire for the Residential, which will be full of exciting opportunities!
On the curriculum overview, you can see what we will be learning about this term. Every Wednesday you will receive homework, which needs to be returned by the following Monday.
It is really important to read regularly, so please remember to take your reading book to share it with the adults at home.
In Years 5 and 6, you will take part in interesting lessons and activities to extend your knowledge and skills and you are expected to work hard and always try your best!
Our learning conversations are glued into Reading log books, at the beginning of every week, but here is an example of one:
