Welcome to our class home page for our Year Six pupils, parents and carers. We hope you had a relaxing break and are ready for our final Spring Term together at The Oaks Community Primary School. As you can see from above, we have school trips alongside fantastic daily teaching and learning. Our pupils will complete many successful learning outcomes, sharing activities with our community and continue to be ready to learn, respectful and responsible to all within our school community. We are looking forward to teaching and learning with you during this term together at The Oaks Community Primary School. During this half term, we will be continuing to develop our learning skills which will include: building your independence, exploration and inquiry skills to complete learning activities to our expected high standards and deepening our class philosophy of ‘I am, I have, I can’.
English
Over this half term we will be using a variety of rich texts across the curriculum in writing and these will be used as a deep dive – linking our reading activities and written work across the curriculum. Pupils will be introduced to both non-fiction and fictional text titled The Way of the Wolves by Smriti PrasadamHalls and introduce the author Neil Gaiman through the text Wolves in the Walls. The writing outcomes will be a first person narrative and an explanation text. |
Our Steps to Read programme will support all areas of the English, Reading curriculum. This will give pupils the opportunity to increase vocabulary, learn strategies and skills and exploration, discussion and enhance their use of reading strategies.
Please support your child to ‘Strive for 5’ by listening and encouraging your child to read.
Alongside our shared read, pupils will have access to a selection of reading opportunities provided daily in our ‘Strive for Five’, this will include our class book, poetry and Accelerated Reader.
Please support your child to ‘Strive for 5’ by listening and encouraging your child to read five times a week.
