Oak - Reception and Key Stage 1
TERM 1 PROJECT - School Days
In the School Days project, your child will have the opportunity to take part in a traditional Victorian class and will learn about the differences between schooling in the Victorian era and schooling today. They will learn about objects found in a Victorian classroom and how they were used. They will research Samuel Wilderspin, an important figure in the development of schooling for young children in the Victorian era, whose ideals are reflected in schooling today. They will learn to describe the passage of time through study of past, present and future tense vocabulary.

What have we been learning this week?
Collective Worship
Our value this term is 'Generosity'. We have begun to explore what generosity means and discussed how we will can generous and sow seeds for the future.
We have thought about why it is important to give cheerfully and thought about a time when we were generous and how we hope we made the other person feel.
RE
We are currently learning about Creation in RE and exploring the question "Who made the world?" To begin, we went out into nature for quiet reflection time and discussed what we liked most about the world and then begun to question who we think made the world.
We have discussed the creation story from Genesis 1 and how Christians believe that God created the world in seven days.
