Week 2, ending 16 September 2022
Posted: Sep 16, 2022 by: Mrs Amos (a.amos) on: Oak Tree Class Blog
A fab week of settling in and work for Oak Tree Class...and that's not just for the pupils!
We have done work on Place Value in Maths, working with numbers up to 1,000,000, which is exciting and we have written descriptive diary entries, which have blown Mrs Amos away! Writing in pen has been a challenge for some so far, yet all children are trying super hard to handle this new skill.
Science investigations about reflecting light were fun, as have been Handball and OAA sessions in PE.
We have looked at a few key events from the start of the Second World War, including mapwork about Allies and Axis Powers in 1939 and we have ended the week thinking about the life of the late Queen, Elizabeth II.
Reminder: we are not at school on Monday and Tuesday is our Y5 visit to Eden Camp. Here are a few notes as reminders for the visit:
Y5/6 Eden Camp Trips - IMPORTANT
We would like to issue a few reminders in advance of our Y5 trip (Oak and Y5 Ash) on Tuesday and Y6 trip (Maple and Y6 Ash) on Wednesday to Eden Camp.
Children will need to meet on the KS2 playground at 8.15am. We will be departing from school no later than 8.30am to allow the necessary travel time. Children will need to wear their normal school uniform and must bring a waterproof jacket/coat.
Children will need to bring a packed lunch with them. We ask that packed lunches are fully disposable (no lunchboxes/Tupperware etc.) and in a carrier bag with your child’s name on. Please also include a disposable, plastic water bottle. Please note that packed lunches MUST NOT include nuts of any kind (including peanut butter and Nutella) as we have children in the group who have a potentially life-threatening allergy to this food.
Please do not send your child with a backpack – due to the nature of the visit it would be impractical for them to wear this all day.
We aim to return to school by 4pm. If there are delays, school will inform parents via text message. Please wait to collect your child on the KS2 playground – not by the top gates where the coach will stop. This is to ensure all children can disembark safely and return their school resources to the classrooms.
As we are returning later than the end of a normal school day, you will need to notify the office or your child’s class teacher if you wish for them to walk home alone, even if this is their normal arrangement.
Have a super weekend
