Would you rather live in the Stone Age, Bronze Age or Iron Age?

Informal letters
In English this week, Oak Class got into the role of Stanley from our class text, Holes. After reading the letter that Stanley sends home to his mom, we planned and wrote informal letters for the same purpose: to reassure home that Stanley is well and enjoying camp! We developed our inference…

Willow’s School Trip to Conkers!
Willow had a fantastic day at Conkers where they continued their learning on the Stone Age! We created cave paintings, learnt all about orienteering, built waterproof shelters and learnt how to make and maintain a fire!

Village Clean-Up!
Oak Class demonstrated our school value of ‘Koinonia’ this morning by going on a village clean-up! We couldn’t believe the amount of discarded litter that we found, the children found it very eye-opening and felt even more passionate about being agents of change for our community. This will now…
Adapted Organisms
Oak Class learned about the adaptations that different species have developed in order to survive in their habitats. We compared similarities and differences and noticed that some species (albeit living in contrasting environments) possess the same characteristics to aid survival! The children…
Yellow-Spotted Lizards
After continuing with our class book, the children learned about the dangerous creatures in ‘Holes’, Oak Class planned and wrote their own non-chronological reports about the yellow-spotted lizard. Their double-page spreads look fantastic!

EYFS Repeating patterns
