Welcome to our Oak Class webpage where you can find information about our classroom routines, current learning and some recommended websites and information to help! If you have any questions, please contact me via the school email address: admin@thepinesschool.org.uk

Hello, my name is Miss Owen and I am delighted to be teaching Oak class this year. When I am not teaching, I enjoy playing football, watching lots of different sports, reading and spending time with my family. I cannot wait to see what exciting things the year has in store for Oak class and to be working with parents/carers throughout their child's journey in Year 4!

AUTUMN TERM

Classroom routines:

Our main classroom door for the start and end of the school day is the door next to the gym corridor, adjacent to the Year 3 classroom at the top playground.

Classroom doors open at 8:40am and the school day ends at 3:10pm.

Our regular PE lessons will be on a Thursday afternoon and Tuesday afternoon. Children should come to school wearing their PE kit and dark trainers on both of those day, have their jewellery either removed, taped or covered and have their hair tied back, where possible, for those sessions.

Current Learning:

At the moment, we are particularly focusing on this learning:

Writing: News report, Poems (writing to entertain) and SPAG skills (spelling, punctuation and grammar).

Reading: The Wild Robot and The Secret Wild (Class novel) and our Reading for Pleasure sessions, which focus on the children exploring different types of texts, sharing their opinions and recommendations on the books they've read and sustaining the book from start to finish.

Maths: Place value, addition and subtraction and multiplication and division

PE: Tag rugby, Netball and gymnastics

Science: States of matter and sound

Art: Roman mosaics

RE: Are all religions equal?

Curriculum: Ancient Rome (invasion of Britain, Roman army, Roman artefacts)
