Welcome to Hawthorn Class
We are the oldest class in the school. We are a mixed Year 5 and 6 class.
Our class teacher is Miss Buckle and we are supported by Mrs Harding who is our Higher Level Learning Support Assistant and a Federation Emotional Literacy Support Assistant (ELSA).
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.
