Weekly Update - 6th December 2018
Miss Oates and Mrs Pawson - 06 Dec 2018
December is here and we are truly in the spirit of Christmas in Oak Class! Our classroom is beginning to transform and the children are almost ready to perform their Nativity - we are so excited to share this with you! Information about tickets will be coming soon...
This year as part of our Advent celebrations we are taking part in the Bible Society’s Advent Challenge. There are 24 acts of kindness to show those around us that Christmas means more than they might have first thought. Each day we will reflect on an age appropriate challenge and make a practical action to help us reflect on the true meaning of Christmas.
There are four main themes:
- List and clues
- Megaphones, looking at the old and new testaments
- God in the world
- God in the universe
If you would like to take part as a family or an individual follow the link below to join in, actions and reflections will be sent to your email each day. If you want to see some of the things we have been thinking about in Oak class then have a look at our display as you come in to the classroom. We have written a lovely prayer as part of today’s challenge...come and have a read! Have fun and enjoy Advent.

There is now a postbox in the school entrance where children can post Christmas cards to be delivered to pupils and staff in the school. Some of our year 6’s kindly deliver these for us.
We have started to look at Phase 3 phonics this week and we are continuing to build words using all of the sounds we know in our reading and writing. Look out for new sounds on our rings and keep practising. It is lovely to hear your phonics stories from home.
We have an exciting 'Tonie' to trial in class. We have had a good explore and look at the different charcters and stories that they tell us, we can't wait to explore it further.
Please come and look at our 'Learning Journey' it is getting really full, ask the children to tell you about all of the pictures they have chosen. We are very proud of the children and how much they have grown and changed, you can really see from the photos and in talking to them.
