Reception have settled back into learning well after their break. We were very excited by all of the snow and ice in the outdoor areas. They worked together to try to break the ice with various tools.

In computing, year 2 had fun learning about how to take a good photograph. They explored the language ‘portrait’ and ‘landscape’ so we could choose the best way for our picture. They also learned about making sure they got everything in the image as well as getting it nice and clear.

Today at 11am we observed a 1 minute silence to show our respect and remember all those affected by conflict. Thank you to all our pupils for taking part. Children have enjoyed wearing their poppies and members of Brownies, Rainbows, Scouts, Cubs and Beavers wore their uniforms with pride.

We're wearing odd socks to remember we are all different, but we are all equal. Everyone deserves respect and kindness. We are keeping Oak Hill a bully free zone.

Year 4 have had a wonderful day learning all about The Anglo-Saxons and Vikings at Tamworth Castle. They took part in a range of workshops. The children had great fun and the castle staff and members of the public commented on their excellent behaviour and their wonderful manners.

Reception have been busy printing ‘fireworks’ with paint and have been matching and counting numbers 1-5.

The children have settled back into routines well and have enjoyed talking about their week off.

Nursery have had a very busy week!
At the start of the week, they made cards for a resident of a local care home who has turned 100 this week!
To end the week, they had messy play with pumpkins!

In their final Art lesson of the unit this week Year 4 created large scale pictures of specific details from logs. They worked with a variety of media such as , wax crayon and pastels. Finally they washed their work with watercolours. We are soooo proud of their work. Well done Year 4.

This week Reception have been looking at Harvest. They have learned that when we grow food, we have to harvest it to eat it. The children have thought about the foods that grow

Last week the children in Year 1 compared numbers stating whether they were greater than, fewer than or equal to each other. We used practical resources to support our understanding of this.

Year 3 explored how sedimentary rocks can transform into metamorphic rocks. This happens due to heat and pressure. We created amazing volcano models.

This afternoon in the nursery garden a group of children were creating lovely imaginative play together. They showed pretend play by creating a cake using logs and acorns for the candles. They sang beautifully “Happy Birthday to you” and recalled past birthdays and future birthdays.

Year 4 have been reading 'The Queens Nose'. To support this, pupils worked hard making chicken coops for their homework! What an amazing effort.
