Oak Class (Year 3 & 4)
Oak Class (Year 3 & 4) - Mrs Cowell
In Oak class, we love to learn whilst having lots of fun!
Oak class is made up of Year 3 and Year 4 children and are taught by Mrs Cowell (Monday to Thursday) and Mrs Cersell (Friday), as well as fantastic support from Mrs Perry and Mrs Cersell.
Autumn Term - Through the Ages
The children will learn about three different periods of British prehistory: the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. They will discover terminology relating to time and sequence dates to make a timeline. They explore the changes to people, homes and lifestyle throughout the different periods and investigate examples of prehistoric settlements, monuments, burials and artefacts in detail. They will also study how technology improved over time, including how the discovery of different metals changed the way that people lived.

Homework
Children will bring home a half termly homework grid, with a range of activities covering a variety of topics from the curriculum they will be learning about e.g. art, science, history as well as some Maths and English.
There will be an expectation of how many activities your child should complete by the end of the half term and the children can then bring their work in, share a photograph on Dojo or talk about it with the class.
There will be a weekly expectation that your child has read and been listened to, practiced timetables and spellings.
Timetables practice can be using TTRS or quick recall, chanting of times table that is appropriate for your child.
School Value this half term: Generosity
