Welcome to the Oak Class
Oak (Year 4)
The children in Year 4 are have a really exciting year ahead of them. One of the highlights of the year is the residential trip to Juniper Hall in the summer term. This will involve two nights away with their school friends working on skills such as map reading, animal identification and learning how to look after our environment. It is an amazing opportunity for children to develop independence and self –care skills as well as gaining knowledge linked to the geography and science curriculum in a hands-on way.
The children will continue working with specialist teachers for French and music and will take part in a French day, where they will try food and practise their spoken French as part of a class enquiry on France and Europe.
