Welcome to Oak Class
I am delighted to welcome Oak Class pupils and their families to the new school year, and am looking forward to getting to know everybody. 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.

Autumn Term
History: World War 1
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
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.

Knowledge Organisers
Please find below the knowledge organisers linked to your child's learning this term. These documents provide details of the key knowledge the children are expected to learn across the sequence of learning. We would encourage parents and carers to look at these with their children and use the information on the sheets as a basis for discussion.
Our Week in Oak Class: w/b 29.09.25
During another busy week Oak children had a fabulous Brass Band session (all sounding amazing), explored negative numbers in maths and wrote a fantastic diary entry in English. They loved learning about life in the trenches during World War 1 and wrote a letter from the point of view of a soldier. We've had some very interesting World War 1 artefacts brought in as well which has really helped make the topic come to life. In Science this week we tested various materials for their conductivity. Everybody is really looking forward to our music workshop at Petworth House next Wednesday.
