Kestrels – Y5/Y6 | Warninglid Primary School

Welcome to Kestrel Class!

A big welcome from Mrs Corcoran, Ms Sawyer and Mrs Whaley. We are really enjoying teaching your children this year!

Our new topic for the Autumn term will be "Is anyone out there?" The children will be immersing themselves in everything related to space and space travel! This is always a really popular topic.

Please find below an overview of all the learning we will be doing across the curriculum.

Free apps to download

If you have any favourite learning apps please let me know via Seesaw so we can share with the class.

Google Earth/Expeditions – made by Google, you can travel anywhere in the world and explore in virtual reality. They often have lots of facts linked to the places you travel too as well.

Kahoot – There are a lot of quizzes on all subjects. If you have more than one device, you can do it as a group and challenge each other but you would need a ‘host’ device as well as the ones you are playing the quiz with.

DuoLingo – an interactive way of learning languages. If you have headphones available then children will be able to immerse themselves fully.

Animal Safari AR – you put an animal in front of you in the room! Explore what the animal looks like, and then research habitats/facts online!
