Burntstump Seely C of E Primary Academy

Eagles

Welcome to the home of the Eagles. 

We are taught by Mrs Ince, Mrs Wheatley and Mrs Smith.  Our class spans Year Five and Year Six children so we are super busy.

Our topic

For the Spring Term, our humanities topic is sustainability where we will be answering our overarching question 'What is life like in the Amazon rainforest?'  This is a fascinating subject and we will be looking at where the Amazon rainforest, river and basin are located as well as the impact of climate change on this area.  Deforestation is something that we will be learning about in the second Spring half term and how the rainforest is changing due to this.  We are exploring this alongside reading our class novel 'The Explorer', which the Eagles have loved from the first page!  It contains some fabulous links to our geography learning and we are enjoying recognising facts and information that we have already learnt. 

In science, the children are looking at living things and their habitats.  This includes an investigating into the components of an egg, which the Eagles are sure to enjoy.

One of the most enjoyable aspects of this term is our delve into food technology to build up to cooking our alternative version of spaghetti bolognese.  We will be learning how to chop, mince and grate before we do our cooking so the classroom promises to smell delightful!

In RE, we will be exploring what Humanism, Hinduism and Christianity teach about looking after the environment and living together harmoniously for the first half term and then undertaking a deeper study of the Easter period using the 'Walk the Bible' resources.

As always, we love to hear from parents or carers, so if you'd like to get in touch via email to the office@burntstump.snmat.org.uk 

by phone or in person, please do not hesitate.  We're always happy to help and love to hear successes that the children have had outside of school.

Thanks, as always, for your continued support,

Mrs Francis (was Ince!) x
