Oyster Class Rules and Vision
Autumn 2 ~ The Magic Toymaker
This half term our topic is ' The Magic Toymaker'. Children will be learning about toys of the past, studying artwork involving toys, using stories about toys to support their English learning and designing and making their own toy puppet.
Children arrived at school and found a letter attached to the classroom door which contained a challenge from the toymaker. They unlocked the door into our very own toy workshop and used their imaginations to build toys with the construction materials.
Children then enjoyed a visit from Mr Thomas Aker the toymaker who showed the children toys from the past and taught them how they could tell if a toy was old or new.

Our Favourite Toys
Children enjoyed sharing photos of their favourite toy with us and were proud to see them on display in our classroom.
Autumn 1 - 'Who Am I?'
This half term our IPC topic is 'Who Am I?'. In English and PSHE we have been using one of our Educate & Celebrate books, 'Something Else' to help us learn about our own feelings, the feelings of others, that it's okay to be different and how to be a good friend. In History we have been learning about how we have changed as we have grown through our own personal timeline. In Geography we have been learning about the lives of people in other countries and the similarities and differences between our lives here in the UK. In Art and Design we have been learning about the work of Frida Kahlo and creating a self-portrait in the style of her work. In Science we have been learning all about our bodies including our senses.
Who Am I? ~ Our Own Personal Timelines
Children in Oyster Class enjoyed looking at the timeline of their teacher and putting the stages of her development from baby to adult in the correct order. They were then able to use this information to order their own timelines. Some children were able to say what stage would come next in their own personal development and that the timeline of their teacher was longer than their own timeline because their teacher was older than them!

Autumn 1 Art & Design ~ Self-Portrait ~ Frida Kahlo
This half term we have been learning about the artist Frida Kahlo and have been creating our own self-portraits in the style of Frida Kahlo. Take a look at the video below to learn more about Frida Kahlo and her life. Don't forget to keep checking back to see how our Art and Design projects are coming along!
Frida Kahlo teaches us to love ourselves for who we are and to embrace our differences as they are what make us special and unique! This is the same message that we share with the children through Educate & Celebrate.

When I Grow Up I Want To Be ...
This week children have been reading the story 'Look Up!' by Nathan Bryon. The children Learnt how the main Character, Rocket, got her name after Mae Jemison became the first African-American woman to go to space on the day she was born! This inspired the children to find out more about Mae Jemison and to think about what they want to be when they grow up!
