Remembrance
Oak Class wrote some beautiful prayers for Remembrance Day, which are hung on our prayer tree in the reflection area. Some children even shared their prayers with members of our village community in Reverend Nicky’s church service on Tuesday!

Making predictions!
Oak Class began the half term by making predictions about their new book! The children were given images of mystery items from the text and had to consider who the items might be used by and what for. The classroom was fizzing with excitement for our new unit!
