Curriculum Information
A warm welcome to all the new families and a huge thank
you to those who continue to recommend us to friends and
colleagues.
to all our Oakwood families
Its that special time of the year when we fast the month of
Ramadhan and do our best to increase in prayer, reading
Qur’an and going good deeds. It is also an ideal opportunity
to teach our children about Ramadhan and its significance to
us. The children will enjoy being involved in prayer time, Iftar
time and prepartions for Eid!
Oakwood Primary School has also welcomed Ramadhan
with the children and are celebrating this blessed month. We
have planned many learning activities and fun games to
guide children to gain more knowledge and understanding
about Ramadhan and fasting.
Summer is Here!
This is a brief outline of the 7 areas of learning
development the children cover as part of the Early Years
Foundation Stage Curriculum Sept 2014:
Personal, Social, Emotional and Development
I will be developing my confidence and self-esteem, my
ability to be assertive and stand up for my own rights or ask
for adult support.
Communication and Language
I will be able to talk about what I want and how I feel and
will have opportunities to express this through role play.
Physical Development
There will be lots of time for me to play and learn inside
and outside the school. I will get the chance to become
good at moving, climbing, controlling and coordinating as I
play.
Literacy
Through handling books and sharing them with others, I
will recognise that words tell stories and that the words I
see in the world around me tell people something.
Mathematics
I will learn to recognise numbers all around me and use
them confidently in play and games. I will start to be able to
put events in order and think about what happens next
during the day.
Understanding the World
The summer heatwave has arrived and it is important to
keep safe in the sun. Children cannot control their body
temperature as efficiently as adults during hot weather
because they do not sweat as much and so can be at risk
of ill-health from heat.
Make sure your children have plenty of cool drinks
throughout the day. Try to avoid going out between 11 am
and 3 pm and apply a high factor sunscreen to your
children if you do go out. Also wear loose cotton clothing,
a sun hat and sunglasses.
Having plenty of time indoors and out I will be able to look
at and talk about objects, materials, living creatures and
plant life, noticing lots of details and things that are the
same or different.
Expressive Arts and Design
I will have the opportunity to express my own thoughts,
ideas and feelings through drawing, painting, model
making, and wood work and by using clay. I will use lots of
tools to see how they work and what they can do and will
use natural and manmade materials to design and make
my own creations, models and structures.
