Class Teachers – Sam Roberts

Welcome to Oak Class. I am the class teacher, Mr Roberts, and we are a mixed age class of year 5 and 6 children - there are 31 of us altogether. We enjoy each other’s company and make sure that we are always honest with each other. It is the only way of working together effectively as a team. The following are the voices of myself, Hugo and Henrietta from our class.
Henrietta: Everyone in our class is nice and friendly and we all get along. You’re very quick at typing by the way Mr Roberts.
Mr Roberts: I’m not as quick as my wife.
Hugo: I bet you’re not as quick as my mum. She types really quick.
Mr Roberts: Definitely not! Anyway, Hugo what do you like about our class?
Hugo: I have lots of good friends and they help each other and show good PARCH when anyone is upset.
Mr Roberts: What would you say about learning in our class Henrietta?
Henrietta: I like it when you make learning fun like when we act out what you are reading.
Hugo: Yeah and you do good voices.
Mr Roberts: Stop it you two, you’re too kind!
Henrietta: The books we do in English are really good too. Say if we have to learn about relative pronouns, the book we learn them from is always good. When we did the magic numbers thing in Maths that was fun too.
Hugo: Science is fun and I liked the electricity stuff and drawing the diagrams. I came up with a sign for a voice box.
Mr Roberts: And what do you like about our school in general?
Hugo: It’s easier to keep track of people who are here and stuff so we are all kind to each other.
Henrietta: Yeah it’s not like a school like Ottery or Feniton that are bigger. It’s not a like a big school with bullies and stuff it’s nice and little and we all know each other.
I hope that this little conversation gives you an idea about our class and school!

Overview of class week:
Monday:
On a Monday, we make sure that we are calm, focussed and ready to begin the week with our morning challenges. In the afternoon, alongside our fortnightly Church Service or Open the Book assembly, we focus on our topic work and build carefully on what we already know. We also hand in our Reading Journals ready for Mr Roberts to check them.
Tuesday:
On Tuesday we have French in the morning with Madame Shackleton and so swap Maths to the beginning of the afternoon.
Wednesday
We have our first P.E. session of the week with Mrs Moran who comes in to teach us (and Mr Roberts) how P.E. should be done!
Thursday:
We have Mrs Matchett in the morning who teaches us our second P.E. Session and then also helps us with our PSHE.
Friday:
On Friday we have our spelling test and we work on our knowledge of our times tables.
