Oak Class (Y4/5/6)

Welcome to Oak Class

Oak Class is a mixed-age class of Year 4, Year 5, and Year 6 pupils.

Our class teacher is Mr Boyle, who teaches from Monday to Thursday. On Fridays, the class is taught by Mrs Smith. We are also supported by our teaching assistants: Mrs Noad (Monday to Wednesday) and Mrs Cracknell (Wednesday to Friday).

PE lessons take place on Monday afternoons with Progressive Sports and on Friday afternoons with Mrs Smith. Children should come to school wearing their PE kit on these days.

Our autumn term theme is ‘Chocolate!' 

 

This term we will be exploring Ancient Maya life and culture and comparing this to modern European civilizations and the Aztecs. We'll be exploring where our food comes from, especailly chocolate, and how we can reduce food miles. 

Please see our theme sheet for more details.

Year 4 times table check
 

We'll be administering the Multiplication Tables Check to year 4 pupils during July. It is so helpful when they practise their tables at home. This website is very similar to the test.

As part of our local history study we visited the church and bell tower. We found out about lots of the buildings' hidden secrets we've walked past all the time, and never knew about!
