Hullavington CE Primary and Nursery School

Eagle Owl class are taught by Mr South and include pupils from Years 5 and 6. Mr Perry teaches the class on Thursdays and alterate Fridays.

In Eagle Owls we follow a mixture of the Year 5 and 6 curriculae, which overlap heavily. 

Our days start with guided reading, where we share and discuss texts that are chosen for their richness, vocabulary and themes. Pupils have the opportunity to practice their oracy and fluency when reading, as well as discussing complex themes and reading skills.

After reading, our English lessons link with our reading texts. We learn grammar and writing skills, then apply them in independent writing activities. Every third week is an assessed write where pupils do their own extended writing. We also practice foundational skills such as handwriting and spelling patterns.

Our maths lessons are framed around White Rose Maths. Year 5 and 6 are mostly taught together, given the overlap in the curriculum. We do regular practice of times tables and mental arithmetic.

Subjects including art, geography, history, RE, French, PSHE, science and computing make up our afternoons.
