    What a week Owls class have had!

    The year 6 children have been sitting their KS2 SATs tests and they have completely blown us away! The resilience and determination they have shown has been admirable and they have all given 100% from start to finish. 
    The year 5 children have joined Canaries class and completed lots of outdoor learning activities around fractions, mental health and sports. They have had a busy week and have been incredibly encouraging and supportive of the year 6 pupils.

    The class have begun learning about World War 2 in our history lessons and are really enjoying learning about this topic. We have also begun learning about spreadsheets, plant reproduction, sculpture and Spanish words for our family members.

    British Science Week

    The class were given a challenge this week to create a creature out of paper without using any glue, tape or paper clips. The children really enjoyed creating their creature and thinking about the different features it had. The tricky part was making it without any joining materials. It was quite a challenge!

    What a busy week Owls had! 
    Lots of learning in maths, literacy, geography, music, science, DT and music! 
    As it was World Book Day on Thursday, the class shared some stories with the younger children in reception class. It was a real joy seeing them all enjoy it. 
    The class has also begun to write a short rap in our music lessons. Although they were reluctant to start with, they all showed great focus and some were even brave enough to share what they had completed so far.

    We have started our new units for geography - North American landscape - and music - inspirational female musicians.

    In science this week, the class conducted an experiment into what happens to a bulb when more voltage is added to a circuit. They were fascinated to see how bright the bulb could get and had to problem solve when making sure the circuit was complete each time an extra battery pack was added.

    The class have also been very busy writing in preparation for our story draft next week and it has been lovely to hear their ideas.

    Another busy few days in Owls class and the children have all worked really hard. 
    In science this week, the children have investigated what happens to a light bulb when more energy is added in the form of batteries. They discovered that the bulb gets brighter and we talked about bulb safety and what happens to the filament if we add to much power. 
    The year 6 children spent an afternoon learning about country dancing whilst the year 5 children had their RSE lesson about puberty and the changes that happen to their body. We hope they talked about this with you at home too. 
    We also began our history topic on Monday about the Suffragettes and the children were greatly interested.

    Happy 2025! I hope you all had an enjoyable break.


    This spring term begins a new adventure for me in Owls class so I thought I would introduce myself. I'm Mrs Blayney and have been teaching at Eastgate for 13 years. I have taught year 5 and 6 before I went on maternity to have my children and then went part time. I am very excited to be back teaching in year 5 and 6 and we have all had a great week to start the term off!
    We started this term learning about William Morris in art, electricity in science and coding on computers. We have also started a new writing unit based on the book Kensuke's Kingdom. We started by doing some drama which you can see in the pictures. 

    PE will be on a Friday, so please send them wearing their PE kits.

    Pictured above are our handwriting and presentation champion and our star of the week. Well done, keep up the fantastic work.


    Today we attempted some DT. We used spaghetti and marshmallows to create some earthquake-proof buildings/towers. The children worked in teams of 5 or 6, mixing with children they don't always work with creating some weird and wonderful creations. 
    We will be testing these against Claire's table earthquake after lunch to see which group's creation will  withstand the test. 

    The cleanup is going to be fun..... hehe!

     

     

     

    We have also been looking at the differences between the Christmas Story we all know and the bible stories in Luke and Matthew.

    Worked on some Classification in Science and produced 2 pieces of lovely work in one day. 

    Have a lovely weekend, Owls.
