Welcome to Oaks Class
 Year 1 and 2

Summer Term 2024-25

Our Geography focus for the Summer Term is ‘Map Masters’. We will be learning about maps and keys, directions, compass points, and human and physical geographical features. Children will undertake fieldwork and investigate the school grounds, whilst also linking to the science theme of animals, including humans. We will study some exciting key texts, such as The Secret of Black Rock and Meerkat Mail, to help develop writing skills.

​Reading and writing skills will be further developed through the Read-Write-Inc phonics scheme and through reading comprehension. The children work hard all week to read their RWI books with fluency and confidence, so we strongly encourage parents and carers to celebrate these books at home too.
Important Information
​The team in Oaks Class is Miss Barker (class teacher) and Mrs Dodd (HLTA), supported by Mrs Wood and Miss Batchelor.

Children are supported through their learning journey in exciting and creative ways. They are also encouraged to develop skills of team work and perseverance in addition to nurturing the qualities needed to be a good friend.
