Oak Class Blog 2025/2026

Term 1 Week 2 

This week we have been learning all about the seaside in the past.  On Wednesday we had a wonderful workshop and seaside craft day and in our afternoon lessons we have learnt about entertainment, clothing, transport and food at the seaside during the Victorian times. 

In our English lessons we have been learning about lighthouses, exploring the 'wow' vocabulary used in the Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch and thought about all the different jobs Mr Grinling has to do. 

In maths we have been exploring two digit numbers up to 100. 

We also made a flock of scavenging seagulls!

Next week we will be looking at how artists have represented the seaside and creating some art work of our own. 

Term 1 Week 2 - Seaside Day 

What a wonderful time we had at the 'seaside' yesterday! Oak class made sandcastles, hokey pokey ice cream and a wonderful array of traditional seaside crafts.  Mary shared with us her experience of travelling to Brighton by train for the day in 1850 and we all enjoyed the Punch and Judy show.

Term 1 Week 1

Welcome back Oak Class! It was so lovely to welcome the children back to school and to see how ready they were to learn.  We have had a busy first week back with lots of fun too especially in our PE lessons. 

We have started our Learning Project 'I do like to be beside the seaside' thinking all about the seaside in the present, what it what was like to visit in the past.  In English we are reading the story of The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch and we are all enjoying the adventures of Mr & Mrs Grinling and Hamish the cat.  We have written postcards this week.  In maths we are thinking about place value and learning to read and write the number names. 

Next week we will be having a Seaside day on Wednesday - don't forget your bucket and spade!
