🕉 RE – Exploring Hindu Beliefs
This week, we delved into Hindu ideas about life after death. The children were fascinated by the concept of reincarnation and how karma influences future lives. Ask your child: What does “karma” mean in Hinduism? You might be surprised by their thoughtful answers

Gymnastics at Roefield Leisure Centre
We had an exciting session at Roefield Leisure Centre, where the children practised balancing on the equipment. From beams to benches, they showed great focus and control. Ask your child: Which piece of equipment was the trickiest to balance on?

🎨 Art – Self-Portraits with Personality
In Art, we explored what makes a self-portrait special. The children noticed details like facial proportions and expressions that tell a story about the artist.

Anti-Bullying Week
This week, we celebrated Anti-Bullying Week with the theme of Odd Socks Day. Each class got creative by turning odd socks into colorful bunting, now proudly displayed in the hall. It’s a cheerful reminder that our differences make us unique and that kindness matters every day.

Inter-Faith Week
To mark Inter-Faith Week, pupils designed paving slabs inspired by themes of unity and respect. Each class will have one winning design, which will be painted and placed in our wildlife garden—a lasting symbol of harmony and diversity in our school community.

English Focus
In English, students explored how language has evolved by comparing classical fiction with more modern writing. They looked closely at the flying car scenes in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (a classic) and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (a modern text). Pupils examined differences in sentence structure, vocabulary, and tone, and discussed how these choices shape the reader’s experience of adventure and magic.

What a fantastic week we've had in Oak Class! The children have been immersed in a rich variety of learning experiences that have sparked imagination, deepened understanding, and showcased their brilliant behaviour and enthusiasm.

📚 Exploring Our Class Novel – Tom’s Midnight Garden
This week, we started our new class novel, Tom’s Midnight Garden. The children stepped into the shoes of the characters, writing thoughtful and imaginative postcards as if they were part of the story. We also used the vivid descriptions in the book to draw detailed plans of the mysterious garden – a wonderful way to combine literacy and art!

🌺 Remembrance Day Reflections
In preparation for Remembrance Day the children created beautiful poppies and explored the significance of this important occasion through guided reading. Their discussions showed great empathy and understanding, and their artwork was both respectful and creative.

🗺️ Geography Fieldwork in Clitheroe Town Centre
We took our learning out into the community this week with a geography fieldwork trip to Clitheroe town centre. The children conducted questionnaires about leisure facilities in our local area, engaging confidently and politely with members of the public. Their manners and behaviour were exemplary – they were a real credit to the school!
