Welcome to the Oak Class Page.

We are looking forward to an exciting and engaging Autumn Term packed with wonderful learning opportunities across the curriculum. In English, we will be exploring the novels Varjak Paw and You Are History!, using these texts to inspire our reading, writing and discussion skills. In Maths, we will follow the White Rose scheme of learning, developing our understanding of place value, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division, and fractions.

Our Science learning will focus on Properties and Changes of Materials and Forces, where children will investigate the world around them through practical enquiries and experiments. In PSHE, we will continue our journey with My Happy Mind, exploring the topics Meet Your Brain and Places, helping children develop self-awareness, confidence and positive learning habits.

In History, we will travel back in time to learn about Medieval Monarchs and their impact on Britain, while in Geography we will study Population and explore how people live across the world. In RE, we will learn about both Christianity and Islam, developing our understanding of different beliefs, values and traditions.

Creativity will also be a key part of our learning this term. In Art, we will create work inspired by Mixed Media Cityscapes and The Art of Display, experimenting with a range of materials and techniques. In DT, we will become budding chefs as we design and make a healthy vegetable soup, learning valuable food preparation skills and the importance of healthy eating.

We are excited for a term full of discovery, creativity and achievement, and we look forward to sharing the children's learning with you along the way. As always, if you have any questions or would like to discuss anything regarding your child, please feel free to get in touch with Mrs Phillips via ClassDojo. We value your support and look forward to working together throughout the year.
