Welcome to Parrot Class!

Welcome to Parrot Class!  We are Year 5 & 6 and we are taught by Mrs Droy (Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) and Madame Ziebeck (Monday, Tuesday) and our Teaching Assistant is Miss Nessling.  We can't believe how the summer holidays have flown by and it's time for a new school year.  We are looking forward to a term of settling in, learning lots and having an Adventure at PGL (amongst other things).

This term will have a Geography and History focus, with our Topic - Exploring Egypt.  Take a look at our topic map below to find out more about what else we'll be doing this term. We will study the geography of Egypt, looking closely at the importance of the River Nile. We will then travel back in time and find out more about Ancient Egypt, one of the world's most fascinating ancient civilisations.

As Parrot class are ‘top’ of the school we’ll be leading the way and setting a great example to all the other children about how we behave each day, demonstrating our really positive attitude to learning.

Should you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us. 

Mrs Droy and Madame Ziebeck

In Science this term we will be finding our about Materials and their Properties.  We'll learn more about different types of materials, why they are chosen for different purposes.  We'll explore mixtures, separating materials and reversible and irreversible changes.

 Homework expectations

Homework will continue to be an important aspect of the children's learning during their time in Parrot Class.  Children are expected to read daily (ideally to an adult), alongside completing a weekly READ task which is due on a Tuesday.

Children are also expected to work on their Maths Passport objectives, Key Maths Facts and spellings across the week as these will be assessed weekly.

Each half term a set of six pieces of homework will be sent home via Teams. These include Maths, English, Science and other activities, such as art.  It is expected that all six pieces are completed by the due date (usually the last Tuesday of the term).  If children need resources or support then they should speak to an adult  in their class as soon as possible.

All our termly homework assignments and spellings are now on Teams, our platform for work and communications. If you have forgotten your email or password for logging on to Teams, please speak to a teacher.
