Welcome to Oaks Class
Year 1 and 2
Autumn Term 2025
Welcome to Oaks' class page where you will find all the important information you need to know regarding Oaks class.
This term, our topic is 'Victorian Shipley.' We will be learning about the lives of Victorian children and Shipley during the Victorian times.
In English, we will be looking at different stories to inspire our writing, including 'What the Ladybird Heard' and 'Squash and a Squeeze,' both written by Julia Donaldson. We will be building a love of reading and writing whilst looking at basic punctuation as well as improving our sentence structures.
We will continue to use Read-Write-Inc phonics and reading scheme. The children work hard all week to read their RWI books with fluency and confidence and will then bring them home to celebrate their successes with their families.
In Maths we will be looking at Place Value, Addition and Subtraction, really focusing in on those key mathematical skills whilst using concrete apparatus to support the children.
We look forward to this term with the children,
Mrs Jessopp, Mrs Fuller and Mrs Dodd
