Peacock & Falcon Classes

2024/25

 Welcome to our webpage.

Hope children and parents had a fabulous Easter holiday.

The first couple of days back have had children learning about Animals, including humans with a visit from Alex representing the RSPCA from West Hatch. Alex spoke to the children at great length about how animals survive in the outdoors and how we should care for these animals. The main focus around her visit was how hedgehogs survive in our local environment and what we can do to help them. 

All of the children made a clay model of a hedgehog, spending much time perfecting the contours and features of this animal. Please see images below. 

Home Learning Tasks (Homework) - weekly spellings, Purple Mash task assigned online and reading (10-15 minutes a night if possible). Also, Timetables Rock Stars should be accessed at least once a week.  Your child's login details can be found in their Home Learning Journal. 

Reading books can be changed each week once children have completed at least 3 Oxford Reading Buddy questionnaires and achieving 80% correct. Please see ORB links & support below.

PE days are Tuesday with Mr Williams, (hockey/outdoor clothing needed) and Thursday (PE kit not needed ) again with  Mr Williams from the start of the second spring term.
