Oak Class

Class Teacher: Jess Hatch

Welcome to Oak Class one of our Key Stage 2 classes here at Littlegreen Academy.

 Autumn Term 2025

In Oak class we have had a brilliant and busy start to the year!

The whole class have already been demonstrating our school values. They have been accepting of each other, are getting to know all the new faces in class and have been getting to know each other through games and sharing our interests.

In our English lessons, we have been putting our creative skills to the test with artwork and sharing different styles of music. In Maths we have gotten off to a flying start, playing lots of maths games to refresh our knowledge after the summer break.

Oak class have also been showing amazing courage, meeting lots of new staff and taking part in lessons with different teachers around the school including PE and Forest School where we have loved climbing trees.

We have started our topic this term by sharing what we already know about dinosaurs and even creating our own. We are looking forward to learning lots more about dinosaurs and how they lived over the next few weeks.

 Autumn Term 2 2025

This term, in English, we have enjoyed reading Ten Word Tales – lots of stories that only have 10 words. The class have created their own tales and illustrated them. We also extended them into fantastic stories. We are now getting in to the Christmas spirit by writing our own versions of the 12 Days of Christmas.

We have needed a lot of perseverance in maths this half term as we have been putting our times table skills to the test, learning and practicing times tables up to 12s! All the pupils have been working hard.

We have been fortunate to visit Fort Purbrook and enjoyed the strategy and communication in laser tag and tested our initiative in some problem-solving activities.

We have enjoyed the Autumn term and are looking forward to the last two weeks of term and all the fun things that we have planned!

Spring Term 2026

Oak Class have had such a brilliant spring term so far. We have been working hard on our independent writing this week and have been busy using Flotsam – a book with no words as our inspiration to write our own short stories. The illustrations and planning we have done has led to some fantastic writing.  

This half term Pupils are learning about different farming techniques and where our food comes from. We have enjoyed watching some videos about how carrots are farmed and realised that there are more processes involved than we first thought. We have been able to spot some different types of farms while we have been exploring the area around Littlegreen.  

Our weekly countryside walks have been great fun this term and we have really displayed our school values during these trips – Persevering, being Kind and Accepting of each other. Walking is not only great exercise, but we have learnt how it can improve our mental health and help build strong friendships too.
