Year 6 - Eagles
The class teacher is Miss Ralph with the fantastic teaching assistant Mrs Platt. We strive to be the best we can be, and set an outstanding example to the rest of the children in school, staff and visitors.
Key information
Expectations
We have indoor PE on Monday afternoon and outdoor PE on a Friday afternoon, so please make sure you come in your correct kit. Please see the school prospectus for the correct PE kits. Long hair MUST be tied up at all times- not just during PE lessons.
We are very lucky to have our very own forest at Offmore and you can often find us at forest school; creating and learning through being outdoors. If we go to forest school we need to make sure we wear old clothes and suitable footwear. We will let you know when this is needed.
In year 6, the expectation is that the children read every day at home. This needs to be recorded in their reading diary at least 5 times a week and be signed by an adult. Reading Diaries are collected in every Thursday. It can include any genre of book, comics, newspapers, fiction, non-fiction or whatever takes their fancy. We just want it to be a pleasurable time for them and to develop a love of reading. We really enjoy listening to the children's conversations about the books they are enjoying at home.
Home learning
Homework is set weekly and can be maths, English, or topic related. Spellings, reading and TT-RockStars are daily expectations, om top of the written homework. Diaries need to be in school every day, as messages can be sent to and from home/school, to set homework in, also the children have all of their logins for the computing programmes in these- which we need most days.
Learning Powers
The children can earn points for using their learning powers. These include:
Busy Bee power- given for active learning, such as being focused.
Unicorn powers are given for playing and exploring, using a 'can do' approach.
Magnifying powers are given for creating and thinking critically, such as using learning walls independently to further own learning.

We are learning about music which is space linked or influenced by space stories, including War of the Worlds, Gustav Holst and many others. Our class novel: Phoenix has already captured the children and we love sharing time in English lessons and at the end of the day to share the story.
