Welcome to Oak Class: Year Five & Six
Mr Griffiths is the class teacher and he is supported by Mrs Geddes, Miss Langdon, Miss Sharp, Mrs Wyatt, Ms Moores, Mrs Knott and Mrs Pithers. We also are lucky to have Mrs Fox, who is completing her teacher training with us.
What do we do in our class?
In class we have Termly Topics. This term our topic is called Maafa, which means 'Great Catastrophe' and is all about the history of the slave trade, Britain's involvement in it and the consequences and impact it has had. It also incorporates our Art topic, as we focus on significant black artists.
In English this half-term we will be looking at writing persuasive letters and information texts, and in maths we will be focusing on fractions and decimals.
Our Science topic is all about the circulatory system, and we will be looking into what effects different foods, drinks and drugs can have on our bodies. This aspect of healthy and unhealthy foods will also link in with our DT and French lessons.
In RE, we will be looking at Hinduism and the concept of karma and reincarnation and geography will be looking at climate change and extreme weather around the world.
In music, we will be looking at different musical styles and working towards our Christmas concert. We also have our 'Song of the Week' which introduces different artists and styles from the past.
ICT this half-term will be focusing on filming techniques and planning our own videos.
All in all, it's going to be another busy term!
