Term 2 week 3

Hello :) 

It has been a lovely week to celebrate Oak Class's amazing learning with you at Parents' Evening!

English 

In English this week we have continued to look at the story 'Into the Forest'. We have done a lot of talk for writing, getting our acting skills going and the vocabulary and ideas produced by Oak Class children have been amazing! Using these ideas, they have started to create resources to help them write their own stories next week! 

Maths 

In maths we have continued to look at place value. Oak Class can use number lines in order to help them order and recognise numbers. They have learnt about the word 'estimate' and can now estimate numbers on a number line using their knowledge to help them. We have continued to apply our knowledge to problem solving and can articulate our answers with growing confidence! 

Times tables are very important in our classroom and we have focused on our three times tables this week. I am looking forward to seeing children attempting these on their TT Rockstars over the next couple of weeks! 

Afternoons 

This week we have looked at a traditional story in the Christian religion in R.E. We have looked at the festival of Christmas and Oak Class were able to retell the story. 

In geography we have been looking at naming and identifying the seas and oceans that surround the countries of the UK. Oak Class confidently looked at world maps and used globes and atlases to help them label the countries, seas and discussed the advantages and disadvantages of living on an island. 

In P.E. we have been looking at our coordination skills with partners and have also introduced equipment to challenge ourselves. 

Reminders: 

• Please remember to send your child's nativity costume in by Monday 25th November 2025. 
• School Disco tickets are now available to purchase via Scopay. It will be taking place on the 6th December between 17:00 - 18:00 for KS1! 

We hope to see lots of you at our KS1 bedtime stories event next week (Wednesday 27th November 2024). There will be hot chocolate and biscuits and plenty of books to enjoy! I can't wait to see all the teddies and pjs :)
