Oak Class - Spring 2015
Welcome back, we have a busy term ahead and this booklet outlines
the learning we will be experiencing this term. Our topics bring many
of the subject areas together in a purposeful and engaging way. We
teach Maths and English skills according to the National Curriculum
however many activities will be placed in a topic context. If you have
more than one child, you may notice similar knowledge and skills
being repeated across the school. Children will revisit concepts and
skills, experiencing more depth as they progress.
