Welcome to Owls Class!

It's a new school year, so it's hello to our new Year 5 pupils and welcome back to the new Year 6!

The Owls is a mixed Y5/6 class of 29 pupils. The class teacher is Mr.Reeve and the Owls teaching assistants are Mrs. Milne, Mrs Burnett and Miss Cole who work each day with the class inside and outside the classroom.

It was a busy end to the school year as we wished goodbye and good luck to last year's Year 6 pupils who will now begin their new schools: Queen Elizabeth High School, De Aston School, The Gainsborough Academy, Kirton Academy and Lincoln Christ's Hospital School. 

This term we will enjoy a wide range of activties as we begin our new topcs. 

On Monday 14th September, The Owls and The Hedgehogs Class will be visiting Wild Pines Park - the outdoor adventure centre near to Market Rasen. (More details to follow).

In English lessons this term, we will continue to use the "Talk for Writing" approach. Many pupils have commented how much they enjoyed learning to draw, tell and write stories. We will be reading the novel, "Friend or Foe" by Michael Morpurgo, and this story will support our History topic- "Children at War."

In Maths lessons, we will begin by studying Place Value before learning different skills to support addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, as well as reasoning problems involving different aspexts of number, shape and measures. 

Our Science theme is Properties of Materials, where we will be carrying out many practical investigations.

As we learn about the impact of life during the Second World War, we will investigate how and why people have migrated throughout and how the population of the world has changed.

PE lessons will be taught on Tuesday mornings by Premier Education. We will also have Owls Class PE/Games sessions on Thursdays. We will take part in Tag Rugby, Football and Hockey sessions. 

Our RE topic is: How do people express their beliefs through worship and caring for others? We will explore different religious faiths and consider non-religious understandings.

In Computing sessions, we will learn about Internet Safety and develop our understanding of Computing systems and networks.

We will be using a wide range of media in our Art and DT lessons in our "Expressing Tone" theme. 

Don't forget to bring to school your own achievements from home to share in our Friday assembly. Have your photo displayed on our achievement board! Well done to everyone who did this last year.
