Welcome back to another wonderful summer term of rich learning experiences in Oak Class.
To find out more about who will be teaching Oak Class, please click on our 'Meet the Teaching Team' page.
Oak Class have a super term of learning ahead. In English, we be continuing to explore our beautiful texts through which we be developing our range of writing and comprehension skills. These texts always remain ‘top secret’ until the last moment, as the mystery surrounding them is used to stimulate the children’s ideas. Using these texts as stimulus, the children will produce a final piece of writing in the style of: a first person description; a suspense narrative; a balanced argument; a piece of information text and a newspaper report.
In maths, we will continue to follow Power Maths which is based on a mastery approach to the teaching of mathematics designed to strengthen and deepen understanding. The children will begin by looking at geometry of shapes and position and direction. They will then move on to decimals, negative numbers, measure- converting units and volume. Year 6 children will be preparing for the SATs assessments in May, by revising concepts such as: statistics, geometry-properties of shapes and position and direction and problem solving in division.
In our wider curriculum work, we will begin the term by thinking about how people express their faith through the arts and what kind of king Jesus was. In PSHE, the children will continue to explore health and well-being through the understanding of how our bodies develop and change. We will then move onto Art and design where we will be exploring how artists use their work to convey important, sometimes political, messages and in design and technology, we will delve into the world of cooking and nutrition.
In Geography, we will be exploring globalisation and how this has impacted on the world we know today, whilst in History we will investigate how life has changed over time in Britain and what the future could hold based on our past experiences.
Our science topic will focus on biology, and we will study animals including humans. For computing, the children will be creating websites and designing games. And finally, in PE the children will be learning the rules of rounders as well developing their outdoor adventure skills during our field fun sessions.
Please do have a look at our comprehensive curriculum page on our website for more information on what your child will be learning and when.
