Oak Class is home to our Year 2,3 and 4 children and is taught by Miss Cameron with support from Miss Henry, Mrs Pickard and Mrs Murdoch.
This half term our topic is Marvellous Maps!
This unit of work will focus on map reading skills, including identifying map symbols, compass directions and human and physical geographical features of landscapes.
In English, we will be reading Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver by Chris Riddell and Martin Jenkins.
This magnificent edition of Jonathan Swift’s classic adventure story contains all four of Gulliver’s extraordinary voyages.
Oak Class PE is on a Wednesday morning. Children should come to school dressed in their PE kit each Wednesday. We also have additional PE sessions with our sports specialists on the following dates:
Thursday 5th September
Thursday 26th September
Thursday 17th October
Spellings are on a Monday morning. Children should ensure they have their red spelling book with them each Monday. Spelling practice activities can be found here: spelling activity ideas or accessed online the Purple Mash website.
Spelling lists for Autumn term will be uploaded in due course.
Children should also be familiar with the Year 1 and 2 Common Exception Word List (words which are used frequently but do not necessarily follow the spelling patterns which they have already learnt) and the Year 3 and 4 Statutory Spelling List (a mixture of words which children use frequently in their writing and those which are often misspelt).
Reading books can be changed every day, as long as a comment is recorded in reading records by the child or their adult at home.
Children can practise their times tables at home by accessing the Times Tables Rockstars website.
More information about home learning will be uploaded in due course.
Our Local Area
Following on from our walk around our local landmarks back in November, Oak Class returned to Old Spring Woods this May to see the spectacular bluebells on display. What a wonderful sight to behold and so nice to see our local area across the different seasons!
