Oak Spring Term

Debbie Bagwell (speel) on: Oak Class

This term, Oak Class have been taking part in a range of functional English and Maths lessons. This has included learning and sequencing the steps involved in catching a bus and a train. The pupils then used these skills during a class trip, where they travelled by train to Blackpool, walked along the pier, and enjoyed lunch at McDonald’s.

In Maths, pupils have also been developing their time-telling skills. Some of us have been learning to read the time to the hour, half past, quarter past, and quarter to.

Last term in World Studies, our focus was the weather. Pupils explored different types of weather through a range of sensory activities. This half term, the focus has shifted to history, and the pupils will be taking part in lessons exploring the Ancient Egyptians.

In our Sensory English lessons, our story for Term 1 was The Railway Children, and pupils engaged with a variety of tactile resources linked to the story. This half term, our new sensory story is The Shopping Basket.

We are continuing to cook our own lunch every Monday morning. Pupils have created their own menus and shopping lists, and as part of their community visits, they have been using these lists to buy ingredients at Sainsbury’s.
