Oak Class 2025 Autumn Newsletter
Dear Parents
Happy New School Year 2025! The new Oak Class have made a great start to the year and we have been working on great behaviour for learning, developing teamwork skills and recognising their own strengths and interests.
During this Autumn term some topic areas will include:
English: Fantasy stories – text under wraps until we have started to study it...sssh
Maths: Place value, Times tables
Science: Living Things and their habitats linked to the Morecambe Bay Curriculum by studying the Salt Marshes at Sunderland Point; Evolution and Inheritance
RE: Questful RE 5.8 - Daniel: Daniel, did he make the right choice?
Key information
Reading books: Children are expected to bring their reading books into school each day. We have reading sessions throughout the day. It is vital that you hear your children read as often as you possibly can- It really makes a difference and helps them to know how to pronounce new words and develop their understanding of word meaning.
PE: Our current timetabled sessions for PE are Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. Children need to come to school wearing their school PE kit including dark coloured shorts or leggings/joggers in the colder months, house coloured PE t-shirt (no branded items), dark trainers and school jumper. Our Thursday sessions will be outside and in all weathers.
Forest School: As part of our curriculum, Oak will attend Forest School as regularly as possible. Children will not need a full change of clothes—simply a pair of wellies, some over trousers and a jacket. Please be aware that we will go to Forest School in a variety of weather conditions, therefore the clothes your child wears may get dirty. I will send a text message to remind parents the day before so you know when kit is required.
Homework: Please continue to hear your child read and practice their spellings. Homework will be in homework books on a Friday and needs to be returned by the following Thursday. Spelling lists will be sent home in homework books with the date for each list specified. We will be checking we know these spellings each Friday.
I’m sure that this is going to be a really fun year. If you have any questions, please contact school.
Many thanks,
Many thanks,
