Class novel
After finishing Darwin's Dragons at the beginning of the week, we voted on a new class text. The winner was the Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. The class have looked at the beginning of the text previously in in a guided reading session but there were intrigued to hear the rest of the story!
Weekly Homework
There is a new homework grid for the second part of the spring term. Although the focus is still on the Ancient Greeks, there are 9 new activities for you to choose from.
You need to choose six activities from the grid supplied. Click here for the details. You will be expected to complete an activity per week.
Some of the projects from last term were fantastic and I could see a lot of time and effort had gone into producing them so I'm excited to see what this term brings!
Your weekly homework needs to be handed in on Wednesdays
Daily Reading

This week
Oak class have had another busy week to round off the spring term. Today in class we have had a design and technology focus with the children working hard to create toys with a moving cam.
We spent the morning measuring, sawing and gluing to create our frame. Then this afternoon, was spent exploring the different cam shapes and what impact they would have on the movement in our toys. The children worked really hard (including to clean up!) and have made a fabulous start to their projects. These will be finished next half-term.
Over the holiday, it would be really useful for the children to keep revisiting their spellings from this term as we will have our termly spelling test when we come back to school We will also have our cumulative quiz to test our knowledge of our Ancient Greece topic. The spellings for this term and the knowledge organiser for history can all be found on this page.
I hope everyone has a restful break!
