I am delighted to welcome Oak Class pupils and their families to the new school year, and am looking forward to getting to know them. This will be an exciting year of learning, growth and new adventures as children build on their skills, develop confidence and work together as a team. There is a lot to look forward to and I can't wait to see the enthusiasm and creativity that every pupil brings to our classroom. The adults working in Oak Class this year are myself (Ms Leeb) and Miss Gillbard.

This topic will explore the events that led to the start and end of World War 1, as well as various important aspects of the war. These will include: life for soldiers on the Western Front; technological advances which led to changes in modern warfare; the many different roles of animals in the war and how life changed for people in Britain. We will visit Fort Nelson for an exciting workshop to help bring our learning to life.

Science: Properties of Changing Materials
 
Properties of materials – introduction
 
 
During this fun, hands-on topic, children will learn about the properties of everyday materials and how this affects their ability to change. We will find out about conductors and insulators; investigate whether certain materials are soluble (or insoluble) in water; find different ways to separate mixtures and decide whether changes are reversible or irreversible.
