A special thanks to Ryan Ship (TMC) for organising the league and hosting at a fantastic venue - The Hub.

Federation Book Club

Three of our able readers attended a Redbridge & Lordshill Federation Book Club Event at Southampton Central Library.

Each of the children and staff were tasked with reading a book prior to attending.
Mrs Mahoney enjoyed reading "A Boy Called Hope" by Lara Williamson. This is a wonderful, warm, funny, emotional and sometimes sad story about a boy trying to get in contact with his father.
The other books were:
"Over the Line" by Tom Palmer. A powerful historical novel about one footballer's experience in the First World War. 
"Twelve Minutes to Midnight" by Christopher Edge. An exciting atmospheric thriller story.

We met with staff and children from other Federation schools to discuss our books. It was great to make new friends and really get into a great book chat!




Look out for Oakwood's book reviews in the next edition of Oakwood News Bites!

Krypton Factor Federation Maths event

Some of our able mathematicians from year 2 and 3 had the great opportunity of attending our Federation Krypton Factor maths event this week.

Redbridge Primary School hosted. Newlands Primary, Shirley Warren Primary, Mansel Park Primary and Fairisle Junior schools were also represented there.

Our Oakwood pupils were fantastic ambassadors for the school; they enjoyed working alongside the others and persevered with the maths activities, games and puzzles all afternoon.

The first activity was the Numberphile Brussel Sprouts game which they all loved!
Next the children were given time to explore seven different maths activities.

Well done everyone! It was so lovely to see all the children enjoying maths and meeting new friends.

Year 4 hit the slopes

On Wednesday a selection of lucky Y4 children took part in the Federation AGT skiing event at the dry ski slope, Southampton.

All the children came back with some sore bits...but they thoroughly enjoyed their mornings skiing instruction.
