This term in Oak Class in English at the start of the term we looked at the poem ‘Bathroom Fiddler’ by Michael Rosen and wrote our own inspired poems called ‘Bedtime Dawdler’ thinking of all the things we do as a distraction so we don’t have to go to bed. Then we used the story ‘Little Red Reading Hood’ by Lucy Rowland and this time we wrote our own stories inspired by this book using different fairy tale characters. In maths we have looked at place value to 100 and addition and subtraction. In geography we have been learning about the continents and oceans and learnt a range of facts such as how many countries there are in the continents and the famous landmarks located there. In science we have been looked at the importance of being healthy, exercising and hygiene, we explored the different food categories in a balanced diet and drew a meal and looked at the importance of hygiene and we practiced how to properly wash our hands and how to brush our teeth. We also looked at the different groups of animals – mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians. We sorted the groups of animals and learnt about what they all need to survive.
