Welcome to Oak Class - 2025-2026
Welcome to Oak Class website page! We are a mixed Year 5 and Year 6 Class.
This year, the adults in Oak Class are Mrs Hatch, Mrs Whaley and Miss T. We are so excited to be part of your learning journey and create so many fantastic memories with you!
Our Learning
This half term (Spring 2) , we will be reading our brilliant class book - 'Wild' by Ele Fountain.
Below is a copy of our latest Parent/Carer Forecast. This useful document highlights the exciting opportunities that will be taking place in Oak Class throughout this half-term. Please also take a look at our Long-Term Plan to discover everything that will be taking place this academic year. If you have any further questions about our learning, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Remarkable Readers
Reading is a fundamental skill that underpins so many other areas of the curriculum. It is incredibly important to read a wide variety of text types to improve your word knowledge, reading stamina and ultimately immerse yourself in the wonderful world of story telling.
In Oak Class we love reading!
Homework
Below is a copy of our homework menu for this half-term. Homework will be set on a Friday and due in by the following Wednesday. We are always so excited to see the work that you complete at home and love to proudly display it on our homework display board in the classroom. We can’t wait to see the amazing work that you create this academic year!
P.E information
This year, our P.E session will be on a Tuesday. Please arrive in your kit, which you will wear for the day.
We love PE! Here is some of our recent work on planning, creating, performing and reviewing our freeze frames.
Super Scientists! We have been investigating electrical circuits and the impact of adding and taking away different components. Our next task is to have a go at troubleshooting circuits and suggesting solutions!

Recapping Division
Hi Oak Class! As requested, I have left my Division video for you to watch. Keep practising with your division strategies, which we will be looking at just before half term. Have a look and see if you can copy my working out. Enjoy, Mrs Hatch.

Reading at home
Reading is a fundamental skill and it is incredibly important to continue to read a wide variety of books at home. Whether you are learning from home or in school, it is important to read as much as possible to improve your reading stamina, develop your word knowledge and ultimately enjoy immersing yourself in the wonderful world of story telling.
On the website, there is now a dedicated folder to 'Reading'. It is under 'Parents' and then 'Reading'. This page explains about the Oxford Reading Scheme and gives yourself and your adults useful tips on how to support reading at home. It has some fantastic suggestions of questions to ask when reading at home and offers guidance for parents to feedback to teachers about their child's reading.
