Class Three

Some of the children from Oak class took part in a netball tournament at Richard Crosse. They worked so well as a team and it was amazing to see them put their skills into action, to compete against children from other schools.

Oak Class has officially shifted gears into the design phase for our Greenpower racing Goblin. 

The brief was simple: create a look for our racer that stands out on the track and represents the unique personality of our class. 

We saw a  range of inspiration during our brainstorming…

Oak and Maple class enjoyed some quality time reading together.

The reading buddies worked together to explore different books.

Whilst the children in Maple practised their fluency and phonics, Oak class were great mini teachers helping the younger children to understand and explore…

At St. Andrew’s CE Primary School, we are always excited to embrace new ways of learning, especially when it comes to technology and coding. Recently, Oak Class had a fantastic opportunity to dive into the world of coding using Microbits, thanks to our very own pupil expert who led the…

Oak class enjoyed their level 2 bikeability training. They developed their skills for cycling on single lane roads such as observing, communicating and maintaining safe riding positions.

The instructors were particularly impressed with the behaviour of all our children.

Some of the children have taken part in a create and calm session today led by Kapella. They all enjoyed making their worry boxes which will be useful to help them manage their feelings. Great fun was had by all.

In Art we have been looking at Retrofuturism and creating our own vision of the future,inspired by Teis Albers. We made a collagraph plate to use to print a background for our artwork. Then we sketched our futuristic ideas ready to put onto our background.

A huge thank you to the NSPCC team who came in today to guide us through their Speak Out, Stay Safe workshop. It was an essential session teaching everyone the importance of recognising unsafe situations and knowing who to talk to.

South Staffs water have been to visit Oak class to talk to us about where our water comes from and how we can stop wasting water.

We created our own model of a river basin and discussed how important our rivers are.

Oak class enjoyed our trip to the National Memorial Arboretum. We took part in workshops where we learnt about evacuation and rationing. We also explored lots of WW11 memorials and ended the day with an act of remembrance in the chapel. This gave us a chance to reflect on all the people who…

We have been learning about water resistance. To test our theories we have been exploring the idea of streamlining. We have learnt that large shapes experience more water resistance and so move more slowly through the water.

As part of our history topic we have been exploring WW11 artefacts. We have especially enjoyed trying on the gas masks, although we wouldn’t like to use one for real!
