Oak class had a lovely time on their trip today to Durham and the Cathedral.
We have been learning about the local community and pupils enjoyed visiting Durham to compare it to our area.

In RE, Birch class have been learning about the story of The Last Supper.

Rowan Update!
We have had Wood Book Day on the 7th of March. We all put so much effort into dressing up in our favourite book characters. We read lots of story and loved seeing our friends and teachers dressed up.
In DT we have been learning about a balanced diet and what are healthy and unhealthy foods. We created our own pizza and made sure it had something on from every food group so it was nice and balanced.
After we made and cooked them we had a try of some ingredients that we have never tried before. Some we liked and others we didn’t. Then we enjoyed eating the pizza. It was very yummy.
In Maths we have been doing a lot of work on fractions. Rowan class have picked this up very well! Mrs Franklin brought in a lovely cake and we had to tell her which fraction/ slice of cake was bigger.
After all the hard work was done we were able to enjoy some of the yummy chocolate cake!
In Science we have been learning about the cycles of a plant. We then completed some work in our books and then had a practical lesson where we cut up or ate some apples. We then planted the seeds and sun flower seeds in clear cups so we could watch the process of the flowers growing.
This children loved this activity!
Oak class – World Book Day 2024

We had fun making book marks and designing our own front covers where we were the main character.
Oak class also enjoyed sharing their favourite stories with each other.
Fantastic day Oak Class, Well Done!
Poetry – Oak Class
This week Oak class have been learning about poetry.
We have been listening to different stories with lots of rhyming words in, working hard to identify them in the story.
We have also enjoyed listening to different poems. One of our favourite poems this week was ‘Chocolate Milkshake’ by Tania Mead.
Using an Attention Autism approach Miss Robson read the poem to Oak class.
Pupils really enjoyed the poem and were able to join in with their favourite parts.
Brilliant work Oak class!
Tennis in Oak
Oak class have really enjoyed PE this term.
We have been working on Net and Wall games and in particular tennis.
Pupils have developed their knowledge and skills by learning how to throw and catch a ball, hold a racket correctly, know what a forehand and backhand hit is and and use their knowledge of this to attempt to hit a ball.
As the photos show we have had a lot of fun.
Well done Oak Class!
Oak Class Science – Plants
This half term in Science we have started learning about Plants.
We learnt the different parts of a plant and labelled them.
Pupils enjoyed investigating with magnifying glasses, taking the flowers apart and looking closely at all the parts.
The following week we enjoyed learning about the difference between bulbs and seeds.
We discussed what plants need to be able to grow.
Oak class decided to start their own garden centre and planted Sweet Peas and Marigold flowers, along with Basil, Garlic, Onions, Radishes and Sugar Snap Peas.
Pupils are taking good care of their plants and ensure they are watered regularly and have enough sunlight.
We can’t wait to learn more about plants after the holidays.
Pancake Fun – Oak Class
Who knew Computing and English could be made extra fun with pancakes!
Today in Computing we had to order a set of commands in order to make pancakes.
Sometimes we got the commands in the wrong order and had to do some debugging.
Once we had an order we followed the instructions to ensure they were correct.
Mrs Watson kindly completed our last step.
In English we have been working on writing instructions. We used photographs taken during Computing to support our writing. This means that other people are now able to make yummy pancakes too!
Happy Pancake Day!
