Curriculum overview for this year in Oak Class

Wednesday 9th March 2016

It’s not every day that a portal opens in the space time continuum but when it does, it’s jolly lucky that it should open at the period in history you are studying! So it was that on Wednesday morning, just as we were discussing biographies, the classroom door swung open and in strode, large as life, Florence Nightingale – The Lady with the Lamp!

The children were enthralled as she regaled them with tales of her time in the Crimean peninsula and described, in much detail, the vile conditions she discovered in the military hospitals there. As she spoke, the children took notes furiously, knowing that they would surely be useful later!

Miss Nightingale stayed with us for over half an hour before the tremors in space-time called her back to the nineteenth century.

Wednesday 20th January 2016

Oak Class are now fully fledged journalists after completing a highly exciting workshop with Editor in Chief, Toby Murcott. The children investigated and reported on the Crimean War. The reports were scrutinised by the Editor and all the children managed to submit their reports by the deadline thus keeping their jobs!
