Oak 2017 - 2018
Mrs Reeves
I am embarking on my third year here at Kingsley teaching upper KS2. Your children will soon discover that I am passionate about all curriculum areas (just peek inside Oak's Discovery Room to see that), but being Maths Subject Leader, I get especially excited about maths, science and the world around us. I am full of anticipation about the year ahead and know that you are too. I am sure that, as a team, you will achieve success through hard work and determination, and will have great fun on your journey through school.
Outside of school, I am most happy in the outdoors – walking with my dog and family on Helsby Hill, Delamere Forest or in the mountains of North Wales. In fact, a perfect day often involves a walk in the mountains with family and friends followed by a cup of coffee and a cake!!

Welcome to the Oak class page!
We have such an exciting Autumn term ahead in Oak class, with our curriculum focus on natural hazards. Please click below for the full term overview plus other letters and information that is sent home.
This term we will be doing P.E. on a Monday and Thursday, so children must ensure they have their full P.E. kits in on these days in addition to trainers each day for our 'daily mile'.
Spellings will be handed out on a weekly basis and children will be tested on a Friday; please ensure Kingsley Journals are brought into school every day so additional spellings can be practised as appropriate from the Year 5/6 lists.
Children will know their Guided Reading sessions and 'starter' homeworks will be marked on their GR days. In order to encourage independent learning, please see the attached homework menu for this terms activities. I have also attached '100 books to read before you leave Primary School' and some times tables hints and tips which may be of use.
We are so excited to be studying 'Natural Hazards' this term; if your child has any additional information or research they would like to share please encourage them to bring in books / powerpoints etc on a Friday when they can share their knowledsge with the class.
Bug Club and MyMaths passwords have been written in your child's Kingsley Journal. If you have any problems logging on, please do not hesitate to ask.
