Oak Class

Oak Class is a mixture of year 5 and 6 pupils; this is part of the strength of the class. Being the oldest class in the school brings certain responsibilities, from being sports leaders to worship leaders, from being peer mentors to leading the School Council, from reading with younger children to helping Hedgehogs pre-school with special events. Such responsibilities help the children to grow and develop into resilient, independent, well - rounded children who are secondary ready by the end of year 6.

 

Maths We follow the White Rose scheme of learning.

 

English

English which includes reading, writing, spelling, punctuation and grammar, is taught every day. Our writing is modelled and taught through The Write Stuff . 

Please ensure your child reads to you at least five times per week and that you sign your child's link book each time - the children will earn house points.

Science

A different topic is taught each term, though there is always a focus on investigational skills.

Physical Education

Oak Class swim during terms 1 & term 2, on a Monday, at Warminster Sports Centre. We have an additional sports lesson with the Acorn  Education Trust's PE coach each Thursday.   PE kit should be in school every day.

RE

Each term we have a new topic which asks a ‘key question', for example, ‘How special is the relationship that Jews have with God? We investigate the Jewish faith, its foundations in the Bible and current practices in order for the children to be able to form an opinion. Four out of the six terms in the year have a Christian focus. We are also looking forward to a creative RE day in the year which will bring the whole school together.

 

All other subjects are taught in a cross-curricular manner allowing the children to understand how their learning links together.
