Welcome to Oak Class: Term 3! 

A warm welcome to all the Oak class families and children! 

I hope you all had a wonderful break, and have managed to share some peaceful and special moments with your family. I must congratulate the children for all their efforts last term. I thought our church service was fantastic, and the rendition of 'Guadete' had my hairs standing on end. It was also a real pleasure to have so many parents in for various events and activities. Thank you so much for all your support, it truly makes a difference and we really appreciate it. I am very much looking forward to starting the spring term with you all.

The staff in Year 5/6 this term are myself (Miss Leitch), Mrs Fidge, Miss Arnone. If you ever need to contact us please send an email or call to the office and we will get back to you as soon as possible. The email is [email protected] and the number is 01227 752202.

This term our topic is "Why do Oceans matter" where we will consider how the marine world contributes to life on Earth for all species. 

We will be looking the book "The Aquanaut" a graphic novel, which some of the children had a sneak peak at last term and they were very excited. It is written in a comic book style, so we will be sure to do some action hero role play!

This term PE is on Weds and Thursdays. However, Year 6 still have 2 more swimming sessions on 10th January and 17th January that they missed last term.

Children may wear their PE kits to school on PE days as normal.

Please check the topic web below to find out about all the other fantastic learning your child will do in Term 3. There is also a home learning menu. It is optional, but it would be really lovely to see anything your child does at home, so that we can celebrate it in school. The weekly timetable is also available, and I will post the spellings here too, in case the spelling sheets go missing en route home! 

Homework: We do ask that children read their book and practice their times tables at least 3 time a week at home. They also have spellings to practice every day, with a test on Fridays.

Term 3...bring it on!

Best wishes, 

Miss Leitch
