Welcome to Oak class

Your teachers for the year are Mrs Norwood and Mrs Brooking. Every second Friday there will be a slight change as the lovely Mrs Andrews will be with the children all day until 2.30pm, after which time Mr Jennings will be with Oak class.

WELCOME TO THE SUMMER TERM 2

We love this time of year...sunshine most days, lots of time to be outside and everything around us in full bloom!

We have eight weeks ahead of us before we will all break for a well deserved summer holiday...but before then, there is lots of fun to be had.

Our learning will look like the following - 

• Starting Volume 2 of Drawing club as the children are introduced to the INVENTURES of 'Noodle and Stitch'.
• We are progressing onto Phase 5 phonics, where we will be learning new sounds.
• Working with numbers to 20 and beyond, partitioning numbers to 10 and sharing and grouping
• Exploring plants and minibeasts
• Performing our first Class Assembly to our families
• Taking a trip to Durleighmarsh for some fruit picking!
• Taking part in move up afternoons to our new class and teacher, Mrs Pidden
• Meeting the new Reception children and making them feel welcome
• And much more!

Of course there will be lots of play and seeing where the children's interests take us as they lead their own learning!

It's hard to believe that in only a few months the children will have completed their first year with us, but until then...let's enjoy!

VE Day Celebrations!
We made our own Union Jack flags, ate delicious jam and scones, visited the school war ‘museum’ run by our Year six children, found out some interesting facts about the war from rationing to Winston Churchill, created our own ‘Peace, Love and Celebration’ painting together (thinking about these words in relation to the war) using only items from nature that we could find in the garden and we learnt that Winston Churchill was an accomplished artist. At the end of the day we sang and danced to ‘You are my sunshine’ to our grown ups and the rest of the school.

A fun day was had by all!

Our lovely Grandparents came into our class for the morning.

It was a very special time for us all! After playing, exploring and sharing in the classroom we all went into the hall for a singalong! The children shared a few of their favourite songs and then we all sang 'You are my sunshine' together!

THANK YOU Grandparents for coming in!

Spring Term's trip to the Winchester Science Centre

The children had a lot much fun exploring the Science centre! There was so much to do and see and they left no area unexplored. What 'normal' school day allows for a visit into space, handling a sheep's heart, crawling through an ear, building bridges with friends, using air to fire balls...and the list goes on. I hope the children visit again to explore with their families!

Introducing 'Travelling Ted'!

He loves to spend weekends and holidays with the children. Please record his adventures in his book and bring him back to school on Monday so your child can share his adventures with the class. They all love to see what he’s been up to!
