Oak Class is made up of our Year 3 children. Our teacher is Mrs Cox .
Homework
Homework is given out on a Friday, to be handed in the following Wednesday. Help is always available in class if needed and a Homework Club runs every Monday after school.
Spellings
Weekly spellings are based on a spelling rule. Each week the children will investigate the spelling rule in class and will then have a spelling list to learn for a test each Friday.
PE
Our PE lesson is on a Wednesday. Please send your child to school wearing his/her PE kit under black joggers and a school jumper.
Reading
Every child will be given a reading book at an appropriate level according to their ability. Please help support your child by hearing them read at least three times a week and signing their diary with any comments you would like to make. Children read their books every day in class, so please ensure they bring their books in on a daily basis. Children with Lexia logins would also benefit from accessing the programme at home for at least 20 minutes a week if possible.

Science
This term in Science lessons, Oak Class have been studying Rocks and Soils. So far they have found out about the formation of different rocks and have observed and classified rocks according to their characteristics. They have also successfully planned and carried out a number of investigations testing rocks for things like erosion and permeability.
Ukulele
This term Oak Class are having great fun learning to play the ukulele. Mr Taylor (a specialist teacher from the Durham Music Service) is coming in every Tuesday to teach them. They are really enjoying it and are becoming more confident and tuneful as each week passes.
