Peacock & Falcon Classes

2024/25

 Welcome to our classes webpage.

We will start the term with the opportunity to design and create through junk modelling, a robot. Our class book this term will be The Iron Man by Ted hughes. 

The main learning theme, apart from The Iron Man, will be science where the children explore Forces & Magnets. 

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 Thursday (gymnastics) and Friday (PE kit not needed for Thursday) with  Mr Gibbs from the start of the second autumn term. 

Communication, Language & Literacy studies will focus on the following book.

The Iron Man came to the top of the cliff.
Where had he come from? Nobody knows.
How was he made? Nobody knows.

Mankind must put a stop to the dreadful destruction by the Iron Man and set a trap for him, but he cannot be kept down. Then, when a terrible monster from outer space threatens to lay waste to the planet, it is the Iron Man who finds a way to save the world.

Jigsaw (PHCE) Puzzle Outcome Help me fit together the six pieces of learning about Relationships to create ‘Our Relationships Fiesta'. 

Dreams & Goals

In this Puzzle the class look at examples of people who have overcome challenges to achieve success and discuss what they can learn from these stories. The children identify their own dreams and ambitions and discuss how it will feel when they achieve them. They talk about facing learning challenges and identify their own strategies for overcoming these. The children talk about obstacles which might stop them from achieving their goals and how to overcome these. They reflect on their progress and successes and identify what they could do better next time.
