Hello! My name is Mrs Miller and I teach Year 6 Eagle class. Fun fact: Did you know that the symbol for Saint John is an Eagle!?

This is my seventh year teaching at St John's and time really does fly when you're having fun! I lead RE across the school and I am a Team Leader for Upper Key Stage 2. 

This year I am looking forward to watching our Year 6s grow as the oldest year group in school. I taught the children in Year 6 when they were in Year 4 and I am already so proud of how they've grown and matured as Year 6s.

Outside of school, I love to play hockey and I play for a local hockey team. I also enjoy cooking and reading. 

 

Other staff working in our class are:

Miss Langley - Teacher Assistant 

Mrs Sanger - Third teacher

Mrs Woodward - Cover teacher

 

Our weekly timetable:

Our learning this term 

English:  

In English this term we will be reading ‘The Nowhere Emporium’. We will use this book to support our writing of both fiction and non-fiction texts. Our grammar and punctuation focus will be on revising key elements of basic punctuation and standard English grammar in our sentences. The book is a wonderful novel full of magic, mystery and deception. As always, please do not read this book at home until we are done so that we can share the reading experience together as a class.

 

Maths:  This term we will be focusing on fractions, decimals and algebra, alongside our daily flashback learning. We will continue to develop the children’s understanding and fluency of these concepts through daily practise, as well as targeted reasoning and problem-solving challenges.

Geography:

This term we will be learning about 'Trading and Transport'. What is trade? Why do people trade? How is trading achieved? Where do goods come from? Which countries trade what and who with?

 

RE: 

In RE this term we will exploring the big question: 'What is it like to be a Humanist in Britain today?' This unit allows opportunities for self-reflection, where children can consider the power and consequences of their own choices.

Science: 

In science, we will be studying ‘Evolution and Inheritance’. This will include learning about the theory of evolution, the work of Charles Darwin. They will be learning about adaptation and natural selection and carrying out investigations to answer key questions.

Learning at home for Eagle Class 

• Reading  

• Spelling shed

Be ready for learning! In Eagle Class, your child will need to have these items in school: 

• PE kit (to be worn on Thursdays) 

• Water bottle (no squash or juice) 

• Small rucksack (big enough to hold lunchbox and reading books) 

• Wellington boots/spare shoes for field (to leave in school) 

• Coat (weather appropriate) 

Please don’t bring other items into school, as we do not have space to store these, and it can cause upset if things are lost or damaged.

Our highlights of term 2 included our residential to Kingswood in Ashford, our breakfasts at Kings and our trip to the Malthouse Theatre to see 'Peter Pan'.
