23rd- 27th September 

What a busy week we have had in Oak Class. Well done to our wonderful stars of the week, Eliza and Ranveer, for their hard work and 100% effort, always. 
 

In English this week we have been learning about Matthew Henson- ask your child if they can remember what he achieved in his life. 
 

In Geography we have been looking at ways to reduce climate change and joined a live online lesson.
 

History- we have learnt all about different cures the Tudors had for illnesses, we found this so interesting and couldn’t believe some of the crazy treatments they used.
 

In Spanish we have learnt a song about family members! 
 

Some children have been out representing the school at bowling and tag rugby this week, well done to those who took part. Well done to our 2 guitarists, Theo and Fred, who showcased their talent to the class. 
 

Finally our wonderful MacMillan coffee afternoon. I am so proud of the children for hosting such a wonderful event. There were lots of yummy cakes, which we all managed to sample! I am yet to count the money but I will be sure to let you know once we have totalled it up. Thank you so much for coming and supporting MacMillan, it is a brilliant charity that makes a difference to so many lives. 

16th-20th September 

Another great week in Oak Class. Cian and Holly were our wonderful stars of the week, well done to them, they have both worked really hard. 

In science this week we made the four components of blood- I wonder if the children can explain to you the four different parts that make up blood and the importance of drinking water?! 

Geography, we continued our topic of "Our Extreme Earth" and looked at different types of weather and how it affects us and the environment. 

We have began our English Pathways topic book of "Young, Gifted and Black". We have learnt about Simone Biles and Bessie Coleman so far. The children have found this so interesting and we have learnt and applied skills such as subordinate conjunctions and fronted adverbials to our writing. 

Math-  we have been looking at place value, we had fun with this and played some place value games. 

Next week we have an exciting week, there is bowling on Monday for some children and Tag Rugby on Friday for some more. Children in Oak Class are also hosting a Macmillan Coffee and Cake Afternoon on Friday 27th September. This will begin at 2.30pm, at school. Please join us for a coffee/tea and a cake, we would be grateful for any donations of cakes/biscuits. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

9th-13th September 2024

We had a fantastic week in Oak Class this week. Seeing so many parents and carers join us at the 'Meet the Teacher' meeting was wonderful. This week we continued with 'ramp up week', slowly breaking the children into their learning after a 6-week break. The children have adapted to being back at school so well and I am proud of them all. 

Some highlights of the week included Geography- we looked at the structure of the Earth and created models of this using Play-Doh. The children are enjoying our science unit and we looked further into the circulatory system this week. 

The children completed their baseline assessments this week to help us see where they are at and ensure our planning meets all needs. They did a great job with all assessments and I have especially enjoyed reading their assessed write stories, I was so impressed that some children continued writing at home!
