Welcome to Oak Class
Our Teacher is Miss Blackwell and we are supported by our Learning Support Assistants Miss Peacock & Mrs Leaney
This year Oak class comprises of pupils in Year 3 and Year 4.
We offer a broad and balanced curriculum tailored to meet the needs of our children. This also supports our aim to instil our school values and build well-rounded individuals ready for the next stages of life in our developing world.
We have daily Maths Sessions, based on the White Rose programme. Children develop their mathematical skills through small group work, practical activities and focused tasks.
We base our English skills and writing sessions on different aspects of our Themed Learning to support our cross-curricular methods. Though-out, we continue to encourage children to become independent learners, building on their natural enthusiasm and resilience.
We have regular PE sessions to promote the importance of health and wellbeing. We also recognise the importance of supporting pupils well-being through our on-going support and PSHEE learning. These continue to re-establish relationships and support our whole school community.
Ancient Civilisations
Cities
In the Ancient Civilisations project, your child will learn about three of the earliest civilisations in the world; ancient Sumer, ancient Egypt and the Indus Valley civilisation. They will study the ancient Sumerian and ancient Egyptian civilisation in detail, to discover how crucial factors like water sources and farming helped them to develop and thrive. They will find out about important inventions and the growth of cities. They will also study the lives of different people in society, including the roles of kings and pharaohs. The children will reflect on their learning by identifying the similarities and differences between the two civilisations, before studying the Indus Valley civilisation independently. They will explore sources of evidence about the location of the Indus Valley, cities and trade, and note the reasons why historians know less about the Indus Valley than other ancient civilisations. The children will then compare all three civilisations, before learning about the causes and consequences of each civilisation’s decline. They will also consider whether or not these civilisations left a lasting legacy.
