Welcome to Oak Class

Our class is made up of 11 year 4 children, 8 year 5 and 14 year 6's. In the mornings year 4 are taught by Mrs Whitfield whilst Mrs Bowey teaches year 5 and 6. In the afternoons we join together to be taught by Mrs Tilley. 

Much of our writing in English is based upon our reading; Spring Term it is based on our geography topic 'Let's Explore the Rainforest'. We are all reading The Explorer by Katherine Rundell. Reading is really important - we promote reading in a variety of ways.  In our classroom we have a special Reading and Wellbeing area where we have our own settee and book display.  Each week we are set reading challenges to complete and love collecting our raffle tickets for the Friday Assembly draw.

We are so keen to collect knowledge and new vocabulary. Our Knowledge Journals are a great way to record our learning and we love our end of term quizzes to see how much we have remembered. Our classroom is covered in high quality vocabulary. 

We work very hard in Oak Class to ensure each child reaches their potential across all areas of the curriculum. We have a happy, calm, hard-working learning environment, where every child feels valued and secured. We all know what we need to do to make progress and to do our very best.  We encourage resilience, perseverance and an 'I can'  attitude! Our teachers encourage us to achieve our targets and to be proud of the wonderful work that we do. Have a look around our classroom and in the corridor to see some of our fantastic work. We are always very excited to find out who is 'Star of the Week' and Star of the Day. Dojos accumulate and we work towards gaining 1000 dojos. Once we achieve this as a class we get to choose a reward.

We are lucky to have beautiful surroundings for our school. We have a wonderful field with a Willow Classroom and a tunnel and tyres to play on. Every two years we go to Tower Wood as part of our outdoor learning curriculum.  Whilst there, we enjoy open canoeing, climbing, balance beam among many other activities. It's a great time to learn team building skills and build our resilience and confidence. PE days are Tuesday and Thursday this year. 

We have a School Council and a Sports Council where we have a representative from both year groups. Year 6 pupils also take on various respinsiblities around school.  We have a range of extra curricular activities on offer that Oak Class have the opportunity to participate in. 

Our school offers an exciting array of competitive and festival events that we can take part in.
