Oaks Class is our Year 5 / 6 class, taught by Miss Smith and supported by Mrs Ellis. 

We are a bunch of enthusiastic learners, who strive to set an exceptional example around school for the younger children in terms of behaviour, following school rules and upholding our values of respect, kindness, aspiration, resilience and community. 

In Year 6, we are assigned buddies from the Reception class, Pines, helping and supporting them on the playground and in the dinner hall to become confident and independent. We are permitted to sit on benches in assemblies and are often called upon to help out with jobs around school. 

Autumn 2024:

We started our new school year off with our residential to Peat Rigg. We made ourselves and our teachers incredibly proud by showing excellent teamwork, determination and bravery. 

Our topic this half term is World War II. 

We are reading the novel, When the Sky Falls by Phil Earle, and have so far been hooked on every word! It's full of exciting cliff-hangers! Our writing this half term is based on the picture book, Rose Blanche by Roberto Innocenti and Ian McEwan. We are focusing on our handwriting, presentation and a range of grammatical structures to help us to become prolific and fluent writers. 

We work collaboratively across the curriculum to help our learning to become embeded and to facilitate rich creative and academic dialogue.
