Happy Friday!
We have had another amazing week in Oak Class this week.
In Literacy, we have continued to work on our letter writing skills. We have written letters addressed to Arthog explaining how incredible our trip was, and how excited we are to visit again next year! In Maths, we have developed our knowledge of addition and subtraction, including solving multi-step problems.
Our Golden Certificate Winner this week is Tim. He continues to show great enthusiasm for learning and this is reflected in his work, especially Maths where he is scoring highly in his end of unit tests. He makes many contributions in class and tries hard in everything. He will take the Oak Class Diary home this weekend to add his entry. Well Done Tim!
The children have all been given Mathletics logins, which can be found in their reading record books. ‘1-minute-maths’ app is also a great way children can be practicing their Maths skills at home.
Next week, Oak Class will start their swimming unit from Friday 14th October. Please could children be sent in with swimming kits on Fridays.
To help us make sure we’re providing the best standard of education for your child/children, we’d like to know how you feel about our school. Today, your children brought home a questionnaire to be completed and returned to school. However, if you would rather complete it online, please click on this link:

What a busy 2 weeks we have had!
Following our residential trip to Arthog, the children are ready for their weekend off! We had the most amazing time at Arthog and we have enjoyed developing our friendships with the rest of our class. The children showed amazing listening and teamwork skills whilst away rock climbing, canoeing and gorge walking. Here are some pictures to give you an insight of what we got up to.
This week, we have moved onto addition and subtraction in Maths, where we have been developing our mental calculation skills and use of column method to add numbers with more than 4 digits. In Literacy, we have began looking at letter writing, and have explored some common features in letters. We have had a super fun Friday creating textured clay tiles from looking at birds’ feathers.
Joseph has been awarded the Golden Certificate this week for his outstanding effort in all lessons, especially his contributions to using dashes for parenthesis. He had a great time at Arthog, demonstrating good listening skills and helping his peers. He will take the Oak Class Diary home this weekend to add his entry. Well Done Joseph!
Enjoy the weekend and see you next week!

We have had a great week in Oak Class!
In Literacy, we have continued to look at diary entries linked to World War 2. We have focused on common grammar features in diaries that we can use to enhance our diary writing skills.
In Maths, we have developed our knowledge of numbers up to 1,000,000, where we have explored powers of 10, partitioning and number lines.
In the afternoons, we have completed some fun activities, including taking plant cuttings. We hope before the half term break these will have grown roots, which can then be planted around our school.
Our Golden Certificate winner this week is Charlie J, who has demonstrated that he is ready to learn and also make improvements to his work wherever he can. He is a great example to his peers in Oak Class. Well Done Charlie! We look forward to reading your entry about your jam-packed weekend in our Oak Class Diary.
We have, also, elected our School Council representatives: Harley and Willow M.
And our Unicef ambassadors: Logan and Scarlett R.
Have a great long weekend! See you all Tuesday.

Welcome back!
We have really enjoyed getting to know the new Oak Class and we are all super excited for the super fun year we have ahead of us. We have spoken in class about the expectations for Year 5 and following both class and school rules. We have created our class charter, which is displayed outside of our classroom, and all children have agreed this is how Oak Class will show readiness for learning. We have expressed a huge focus on presentation, as we hope to be sharing our work with the rest of the school and those of you at home.
Vishva has been awarded The Golden Certificate this week for her beautiful presentation and care that she demonstrates in all of her work. She has made a super start to Year 5 and is a great example to the other children in her class. Well Done! She has taken home our ‘Oak Class Diary’, which all children will have opportunity to add to, letting their classmates know what they got up to over the weekends.
If you have any questions or queries please send an email to the class email: oak@crowmoorschool.co.uk
Have a great weekend and we will see you next week!

Hello!
I feel this is a great opportunity for me to introduce myself as their new class teacher. Some of you may already recognise me from teaching Year 5 and 3/4 last year, and I am just as excited this year. I enjoy making learning as fun as possible. I have added a collection of books to the reading corner, which children are more than welcome to help themselves too! I have an interest in Sports, especially football, and will be holding a girl’s football club during Wednesday lunchtimes for those who would like to attend.
We have an exciting residential trip to Arthog, which is fast approaching, and I will be at the Arthog meeting afterschool on Wednesday 14th September to answer any questions you may have. I have recently attended Arthog with the late Year 6’s in June, and I look forward to having just as much fun with the new Oak Class.
I look forward to seeing you all soon and working with all in Oak!
Miss Hipkiss
