Spring Term 2025
Hello and a very warm welcome to Jaguar Class. We are a combined team of pupils in Year 5 and 6. We will be learning about all sorts of exciting things as the year unfolds; below you will find a taster of what we will be covering in our overview for the Spring Term. You can find us in the outside classroom where we will be happy to show you what we get up to in Jaguars. Mrs Parker is our teacher (she loves Art and gardening) and she is supported by several of our wonderful teaching assistants. Please do get in touch via our class email or the class Dojo if you want to find out more!

Recently, a poet visited Jaguar Class to run a poetry workshop in collaboration with the Poetry Society and Arts Council England. We had an amazing time immersing ourselves in nature in our glorious grounds and using our senses to inspire an autumn poem.
The Soundscape recording of the children's poems can be heard by clicking on the link below.

Jaguar Class have been busy making apple crumble. We stewed the apples with sugar and water before deciding whether to add sultanas and topping off with crumble. The only decision left to make was whether to share it at home or not.
The Jaguars did a fantastic job of representing the school at the Act of Remembrance at Bury church this week.
This week, in D.T. Jaguar class created a more modern version of the traditional, English game Shove Ha’Penny. It is unusual because the switch in the circuit is closed when the ‘coin’ lands on the gates in the game. The ‘coin’ closes the gate, turns on the light and the player scores points. We’ve had a lot of fun making them and sharing them with family at home.
