Eagles
Eagles is a delightful class of hardworking children who are making the most of all the many opportunities available to them.
Mrs Andrews is the class teacher - she really enjoys teaching Years 5 and 6 and has years of experience with these age groups. We are very lucky to have Mrs Southern as our TA.
In addition to English and Maths, the children study a wide range of cross-curricular topics.
Outdoor pursuits are encouraged in Eagles class with children experiencing the delights of a 3 day residential to Portland where they take part in kayaking, raft building, coasteering and many problem solving activities resulting in lots of team building!! A 3 day residential to London where the children take in the sights of our capital city is also held. They experience a variety of enjoyable landmarks such as The Houses of Parliament. A trip to the theatre to see a West End production gives a 'Wow' factor for everyone!
We also participate in a whole range of sporting activities, including, tag rugby, athletics, cricket, hockey, high 5’s, football and the Mini Marathon.

Thanks to FODSW, we are very lucky to be going to see the Sleeping Beauty pantomine in Salisbury Playhouse on Thursday. Children need to be picked up from school at 5.15pm.
There will obviously be no swimming this week so our last session will be on the 19th December.
On Monday, I will be sending out a letter regarding Eagles last day at school on Friday 20th December and arrangements regarding Secret Santa, parties and watching a movie! Pick up on the last day will be at 1.30pm.
Please remember to send your child in with a coat and gloves/hat if needed. We are going through a very cold spell at the moment but it is good they get to go outside and run around.
Maths: multiplication and division: multiplying a 2-digit and 4-digit number by 2-digit numbers, solve problems with multiplication and use short division. All activities will involve reasoning and problem solving.
It is important the children still revise times tables.
