Welcome to Oak's Class page
Teacher: Mrs. Williams
HLTA: Miss Smith
Our topic this term is 'MAAFA'. The children will be learning about the history of slavery.
Reading
Reading regularly is paramount as reading is a transferable skill across all areas of the curriculum. It is really important that your child is reading at home so that they are improving their fluency and comprehension skills and consolidating what has been taught in class. To show your child is reading at home, please sign their reading records. For your child to be entered into the Amazon book voucher draw in the celebration assembly they need to have read at least four times per week and have their bookmarks (handed out on a Friday) signed by an adult.
Please see below the reading objectives for Years 5 and 6.
Spelling
Children will be introduced and taught a new spelling rule each week. We do not test the class weekly on their spellings, instead we will be looking for them in their writing to see whether they can use and spell these correctly in context. The children will also practise the Year 5 and 6 statutory spellings through weekly handwriting sessions. Please see these spellings below.
Maths
Reminder - your child can use their Times Table Rockstar logins to practise key times table skills at home.
Support from home
We do not have homework but there is an expectation that the children practise their spellings, times tables and read regularly. There may be times though throughout the year where children are asked to do a project to support there understanding of a topic.
P.E.
Our PE days are on a Tuesday (indoor) and Friday (outdoor). Please ensure that your child comes to school in a P.E. kit that is suitable for colder weather. Please also make sure that long hair is tied back on these days and any jewellery is removed.
