Homework
Your child will bring their homework home every Monday and should return it the following Monday. This will usually alternate between maths and English/grammar (SPAG). Homework may be used to support other areas of the curriculum too. We politely request that parents mark the work with their child so that any misconceptions can be addressed when returned to school. If they are struggling with any aspects please just write a note on the homework.
Spellings
Spellings will be tested each week on Monday and the new list will be given out following the weekly test. A spelling book will also be sent home with the spellings in.

Wednesday 13 May 2026 Eagles Fruit Salad We all brought in a fruit from home and after drawing and painting them, we made a class fruit salad. We used the bridge and claw method to cut our fruit. We also use the zest of some of the fruits to create a juice. It was a delicious fruit salad. Ask the children to make one for you at home.

Monday 11 May 2026 Eagles Observational Drawings Eagles looked carefully at a variety of fruit and then cut them in half to observe the inside. They thought carefully about the shapes they could see and the texture. They used drawing pencils and carefully selected colours, recognising that different shades can be achieved through applying different amounts of pressure.

Thursday 5 March 2026 Computing in Eagles Class In Eagles class, the children have been learning all about a computer keyboard. We have been teaching the children the basic skills of touch typing - placing their index fingers on F and J , and then placing their remaining fingers alongside these on the 'home row'. With practice, the children are steadily becoming more confident with this. The children have been practising their typing skills by typing out words, sentences and paragraphs. They have also learnt how to delete, use the space bar, how to capitalise letters (using the shift key) and how to delete using 'back space.'

Thursday 5 March 2026 Eagles meet the chicks! As part of our science work, we have been learning about life cycles. To bring this learning to life, Eggucation recently delivered 7 eggs into our classroom in an incubator. Very quickly, the eggs began to hatch and within a day or two of their arrival, we had 7, very happy and healthy chicks running around their enclosure. The children have thoroughly enjoyed seeing the chicks grow and develop. At only just over a week old, the chicks have grown so much and are already looking rather large. They are really rather noisy too!

Friday 13 February 2026 Eagles senses investigation As part of our science work we discussed what we already knew about the 5 senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch) and identified which body part is used for each sense. The children then completed an investigation to see how good their senses were.
