Welcome to Hawk Class

Key news and updates:

Take a look at what we have been doing this term

Autumn term week 4

In English, we have been analysing and writing poetry an in Maths, we have focused on addition and subtraction methods. Science was a hands-on lesson with magnets, as we identified the different properties of materials.

Autumn term week 3

This week began with us voting in our student council members.  A big well done to all those pupils who were brave enough to stand in front of the class and tell us why we should vote for them.  Winners will be announced next week.

We have come to the end of our 'Place Value' unit this week and have created posters showing some of the things we have been learning about.  In English, we completed our narratives and in Art we had fun creating 3D art installations.  

Autumn term week 3

Our week started with a visit to the 'I can & I am' bus.  All children thought it was a good way to spend the morning - making pizzas and having a good chat about well-being with friends.  

In English, we have just finished all the preparation for our story writing.  Next week, we will begin to pull it all together.  In Maths we have been ordering and comparing numbers to 1,000,000.  

Please encourage your child to use their DoodleMaths, DoodleEnglish, TT Rockstars and Reading Plus accounts as much as possible.  Only a few minutes a day of each will close some gaps in their learning.

Statutory spellings for y3/4 and year 5/6 have been sent home today.  Please help your child to learn them - these are in addition to our weekly spellings but will not be tested.

Autumn term week 2

Another fantastic week.  We have been adding sections to our adventure stories in English lessons.  On Monday, we will focus on dialogue.  Thursday saw us split into groups and have our first golf lessons.  

Thank you to those who were able to attend our 'Meet the Teacher' meeting.  If you were unable to attend, please see the welcome letter from me for information - it was sent via a text link last week.

Autumn term week 1

All of year 5 have settled back into school really well.  Please take time to explore the rest of this class website to find termly overviews and the year 5 expectations for English and Maths. 

In English, we have started looking at and adventure story set in a rainforest and on Wednesdsay we did a bit of role play for it.  In Maths, we are focusing on place value and ensuring we understand numbers up to 100,000.
