Hello,
Well, what a warm week it has been! It's definitely felt like a greenhouse in Oak Tree!
The children have had another good week, and have enjoyed learning about translation of shapes in maths. We've been focussing a lot on spelling, punctuation and grammar, in English, and have built upon our comprehension skills.
It's been the perfect weather for P.E and we've loved playing some rounders matches. Click here to see us in action. As a side note, it would be great for children to be wearing sun cream to school, particularly during this warm weather we are experiencing.
The children took some time to create Healthy Eating posters, following on from Mr Cooke's assembly. Check them out below!
Have a great weekend.

Hi there,
It's been a positive week back after the half-term break. The children have worked well and enjoyed sitting back in table groups, in class (see pictures below). In English, the children have completed work relating to our class novel, Darwin's Dragons, and have been developing their comprehension skills. In maths, we've moved onto coordinates and translation of shapes.
We've all enjoyed getting stuck in to some rounders matches, in P.E. The children have really impressed me with their batting, throwing and catching skills. Let's hope next week brings us the same amount of sunshine, so we can play further matches.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the weather,
Miss Johansson

Hello,
I hope you are all well.
Year 5 Oak have been working really hard this week, in the run up to the half term break. They've written some wonderful biographies about David Attenborough, in English. In maths, they've applied their new protractor skills to measuring angles within triangles and quadrilaterals. We are now exploring regular and irregular polygons and the angles within these shapes.
Today has been extremely fun, too! The children have loved getting stuck in to 'Make the Rules Day' - click here to see!
I hope you have a brilliant half-term break. Stay safe!

Hi there,
I hope you've had a good week; we certainly have in Oak Tree :)
The children have been extremely busy in English, finalising and publishing their David Attenborough diary entries. Click here to see! I am really impressed with the children's focus and determination when they write up big pieces of work in neat - it takes a lot of time and effort and it definitely pays off. We also took some time out to enjoy our new guided reading novel, Darwin's Dragons, outside (see below)! It was lovely to listen to the birds and be in a different space whilst enjoying our exciting new book! The children have asked if we can do this more often, I've told them yes, as long as the weather changes its tune and provides us with a bit more sunshine!
In maths, the children have been drawing and measuring their own angles, which takes a lot of time, accuracy and effort. They have enjoyed mastering how to use a protractor.
I look forward to next week, our final week before the May half-term break.
Best wishes,
Miss Johansson

Hello,
Oak Tree have been super busy this week! The children finished and published their fantastic Galapagos Islands travel leaflets - click here to see! I am so proud of how hard they worked during this piece of work and they should be too! Towards the end of the week, the children started to write a diary entry from the perspective of David Attenborough visiting the Galapagos Islands - pictures below!
In maths, we've moved onto our next topic, 'Geometry: Property of Shapes', and began by taking it back to basics with identifying and ordering angles, such as: full turns, half turns, quarter turns and relating these to angles. Later on in the week, the children took their time becoming confident using a protractor, practising measuring acute and obtuse angles!
Have a lovely weekend - let's hope the rain is kept at bay!
Miss Johansson
