Welcome to the Oaks Unit! In our unit, we have the Oaks, which consists of our Year 3 and 4 children, and the Mighty Oaks, which is our Year 5 and 6 children.

Mighty Oaks Topic Overview Autumn 1
Our Teachers
The children in Key Stage Two are taught by Mrs Collinson and Mrs Wright. They are supported by Mr Penrice and Miss Dunkinson.
PE
Our P.E days are Thursday and Friday. We provide pupils with a Tebay Primary School P.E Kit including: joggers, hoody, shorts and their house colour t-shirt. All parents need to provide is black trainers.
Communication
Teachers are available to speak to at the end of the day. If you wish to have a meeting to discuss something more in depth, please make an appointment at the school office. We regularly update our social media pages and use ParentMail via Tracy in the office.
Homework
We ask that all children aim to read for at least 10 minutes, 5 days a week. This helps children to build and develop this core skill. In addition to this, we use Times Tables Rockstars to develop children’s knowledge of times tables. All children have login details for this app in their reading records, and practicing for at least 5 minutes, 3 or 4 times a week, will help children to retain their times table facts. Finally, children have Spelling Shed accounts and can practise their spellings on this app from home.
