Oak Class
Welcome to Oak’s Class Page
Oak Class is taught by Miss Wilkie and is supported by Mrs Vallente Monday to Friday. Miss West also supports the class on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
We have children who are in Year 5 and Year 6 within the class.
We had a fantastic year of learning and experiences last year and look forward to sharing many more in this coming year. Have a look at our class newsletter for information on our learning this half term.
Spring 1
Autumn 2
Autumn Term 2 has been a busy and exciting term for our class!
The children produced some amazing pieces of writing inspired by the video clip Ruin, showing great creativity and a growing confidence in using descriptive language. In Design and Technology, they created fantastic fabric advent calendars, learning and applying new sewing and joining skills with impressive results.
In Geography, the children enjoyed learning about North America, exploring its countries, landmarks and key features, while in Science they developed their understanding of Earth and Space, including planets and their movement. We ended the term on a real high with a wonderful Christmas performance, where the children sang and danced brilliantly, showcasing their enthusiasm and teamwork.
Well done to everyone for a fantastic term full of hard work and achievements!
Autumn 1
Oak Class have had an exciting start to the year with their topic on Ancient Egypt. In History, the children explored what life was like thousands of years ago, even having a go at mummifying dolls to understand the fascinating mummification process. They also stepped into the shoes of Howard Carter, carefully “excavating” artefacts from Tutankhamun’s tomb. Their English lessons were also inspired by Ancient Egypt, as they read a fiction book based on this ancient civilisation. They then produced an explanation text about how wealthy Ancient Egyptians prepared for the afterlife, followed by writing their own imaginative narrative stories.
In Science, the children investigated the life cycles of animals, learning how different creatures grow and change throughout their lives. In Computing, they demonstrated their creativity and problem-solving skills by designing and creating their own quizzes. Oak Class have also been keeping active this half term. They have loved taking part in a range of sports sessions with Morecambe Football Club and have made a great start to their swimming lessons.
It’s been a busy and engaging half term — well done, Oak Class, for all your enthusiasm and hard work!
