Term 1 Week 2 

On Monday we welcomed PCSO Haynes to Oak class, she talked to the children about the different roles of the police and how they can help us.  She then shared a story about PC Ben.  

We have been learning about King Charles III this week, using the iPads to carry out research with partners.  We also created our own mixed media collages of the King's head and designed a crown for him to wear. 

On Friday we held our school council elections.  Each candidate delivered a speech before the class, I was very impressed with the thought and effort each child had put into their ideas and their confident delivery.  Following the speeches every child in Oak class was asked to vote.  Mrs Hillier will be announcing the results next week! 

Next week we will be continuing our learning about castles and King Charles. 

Term 1 - Week 1 

It has been lovely to welcome all the children back to Oak Class this week.  We have created some bright and colourful art work to brighten up the classroom, enjoyed exploring castles and started our maths learning about place value. 

Next week we will be welcoming PC Ben on Monday, reading 'Into the Castle' in English and continuing our Learning Project to find out more about castles and the people who lived in them.
