Welcome to Oak Class
Oak Class is where the fun happens! Every day is set up by our teachers to make sure we enjoy our learning and make the most of the exciting indoor and outdoor learning space at our disposal! In Oak, we are very passionate about the outdoors, and you will see us outside in all weathers, wrapped up in winter and with our sun hats on in summer! We enrich our learning outdoors and are encouraged to learn through exploration, investigation, and enquiry, using play and imagination to develop socially, emotionally, and physically.
As we are starting in Year 1 and 2, we are keen to learn more formally and tackle the National Curriculum with enthusiasm. Our teachers enable us to work in a practical, hands-on, and collaborative manner to make sure that learning is still fun and engaging. We move on to learn about alternative pronunciations of graphemes in phonics which helps us, in turn, to read fluently and spell accurately. We are given plenty of opportunities to apply our maths skills to problem-solving and real-life scenarios. Alongside all this, we tackle the wider curriculum, which is always inspired by our own interests.
Our Year 2 children are supported in developing their reading comprehension skills and practising writing at length, in preparation for Key Stage 2. Every half term families receive a curriculum newsletter which explains the focus for the term and a little bit more about how our families can support this at home.
