Eagles are our fantastically named 5/6 class. We are taught by Mrs. Barnes and Mrs. Gallagher (and sometimes Mrs. Pratt). |
POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS
We've been doing a Barefoot computing project called 'Pizza Party' and we have been creating powerpoint presentations to tell each other what we have found out about ITALY.

READING REFLECTIONS
So once a week we would like you to bring in a READING REFLECTION in response to the book you are reading. You can choose any of the activities below and present it in a way you would like. We are going to collect reading reflections for our display - it will be another way of recommending books to each other as well as helping you to really think deeply about what you are reading.
As you are a creative lot we thought you would like the idea of reflecting in a way that suits you AND your book. So you can choose from these ideas below:

As you are a creative lot we thought you would like the idea of reflecting in a way that suits you AND your book. So you can choose from these ideas below:
- Compare and contrast this BOOK with another BOOK or FILM.
- Be specific– what are the similarities and differences etc.
- Draw the main character from a book you have recently read. Show them as a baby, middle aged and as an older person.
- For example if you drew Harry Potter as a baby, he might be casting spells on his mum to feed him lots of yummy food.
- Write a character guide to the characters you think are important in your book. Choose quotes about the specific characters to include in your guide.
- Choose your favourite language and sentence structures that you think make the book come to life-what techniques does the author use? Choose examples and produce a poster to show what you have chosen.
- Draw up a family tree of the characters in your book.
- Imagine your main characters can be granted 2 wishes half way through your story-what do you think they would wish for and why?
- Would you like to live in your book’s world? Yes or No? But you have to say WHY and use evidence from your text.
- Choose three important events from the book-why are they important to the story?
- Using speech bubbles, draw a conversation between two characters in your story.
- Make a newspaper front page for an important event from your book.
- Make a map of your book’s world.
- Write a diary entry for one of your characters.....remember to use I!
- Choose a character from your book, imagine you are them and write a story from their point of view.

We are trying hard to think about HOW we learn and learn about learning-METACOGNITION. We've all made our own learning journals so we can keep a note about when we're successful at learning, what works and what it feels like inside when we try at something. .
