Welcome to Hares Class

We are a mixed Year 5 and 6 class.

Our class teacher is Mrs Feakes and we are supported by Mrs Tobin our Learning Support Assistant who is also a Federation Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA).

Welcome Back!

Dear children, parents, carers and guardians, it has been a pleasure to welcome you all back after the lovely summer break.

We are delighted with how quickly the children have settled back into life in our Thurlow family and it's been great to see all of the children's smiling faces in Hares Class.

How Can Parents Help Their Child Thrive at School

Sow, Grow and Farm

In the Sow, Grow and Farm project, your child will learn about allotments in the United Kingdom and how the government encouraged people to have them to support food rationing during the Second World War. They will learn about food webs and animal life cycles, including how living things are dependent on one another within a habitat. They will investigate the different ways that plants reproduce and will dissect flowering plants to identify the different structures. They will have the opportunity to learn about farming in the United Kingdom and the techniques used in modern farming, including the challenges that farmers face. They will learn about the benefits of eating seasonally and about the pros and cons of importing food. They will also learn about world farming and how the different climate zones affect where different foods can be grown.
