Welcome to Oak's class page! Here you will find all of the exciting things we have been getting up to!

Autumn 1

In History, we have been covering the topic of World War II. We have covered topics such as evacuation, rationing, the influence of propaganda and the affect war had on people in the country. 

Our English focus this half term was writing diary entries. We looked at the story 'The Matchbox Diary', which detailed the life of a young boy travelling from Italy to America in search of a better life. In the diary entries, the children used figurative language, subordination, the ‘show don’t tell’ technique for characters’ reactions and fronted adverbials.  

In Music, we’ve had the incredible opportunity to learn how to play the ukulele with Mr. Langford. We’ve learned how to read music, play various chords, and even create our own piece of Halloween-themed music! We have also enjoyed swimming lessons and tag rugby in P.E.

During National Coding Week, we had the chance to use a coding program called 'Scratch' to create a space-themed backdrop with animation and sound. 

We’ve had a workshop in school ran by Nissan. We learned about the different stages of car-building and had a chance to make our own using Lego. We also had a chance to design what a car might look like in the future.
