Oak Class

Welcome to Oak Class. We are a mixed Year 5 and 6 class and we range from 9 to 11 years old. Our class teacher is Mrs Montgomerie. On Tuesday afternoons we are taught by Mrs. Green and Mr. Davies.  Our LSAs (Learning Support Assistants) are Mrs. Lavender and Mrs. Busby, who support individuals and small groups.  Sometimes small groups may work with other staff from across the school, too.
 
This term, in Geography, we will be learning about some of the physical processes that have helped to form our Earth as we know it.  We will be considering a range of information to help us understand the question: "Do mountains move?"  We will look at the work of Claes Oldenburg in Art - he created some amazing sculptures of everyday objects.  
 
In DT, we will think about how farmed produce is seasonal.  We will use seasonal produce in a recipe.  Our French work will help us think about food, also.  We will think about how to ask for food and drink in a café, and practise using common phrases for tourists.  Finally, we are all looking forward to using our musical and dramatic skills in our end of term production - Ali Baba and the Bongo Bandits!

Class Information 

All the children have been given a homework book and a reading bookmark.  These should be brought back to school every Monday. This year, there will be no spelling tests as we will be working on developing spelling knowledge as part of our English curriculum lessons.  However, each week there will be a short homework task linked to our spelling work.  Children will need to complete this in their homework book.

Please encourage your child to read daily.  For most children, there is no need to listen to them read aloud, although they will benefit from regularly discussing the vocabulary and content of their book with an adult.  Please remind them to write the title of each book they have finished reading on their reading bookmark.

Times tables should also be practised at home (using the Times Tables Rockstars website) and will be tested in school on Fridays. Maths homework will also be set for children to complete during the week, using the platform 'SumDog'. 

PE is on Tuesday and Friday.  On Tuesday all children should come to school in their uniform and bring their kit with them.  On Friday, we would like the children to wear their PE kits to school.  They do not need a change of clothes.
