We have whole school assemblies three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. We value the time to come together as a community and celebrate what is so special about Oaks Primary Academy.
Monday assemblies are always linked to a theme and celebrate SMSC, British values and what is going on in the world around us. Please see below for an outline of our assemblies moving forward, including visitors who may be coming to enrich our children’s learning experiences.
On a Wednesday, we have a Music Assembly. Music assembly is an integral part of our Music Curriculum where we;
- Sing together in order to foster a love of music and improve our choral singing.
- Learn, apply and embed musical vocabulary and knowledge.
- Listen and respond to a breadth of music from different composers, cultures and time periods.
- Perform instrumental or singing pieces as a class to the rest of the school.
On a Friday, we celebrate the learning and achievements of our children, linked to the Learner Profile Attributes.
