Last week the whole school took part in a 'Intra House Basektball competition'. The idea was to get as many baskets for your house as possible, working as a team. It was great fun and the weather wasn't to bad either. Thanks to all the children who took part for their house, Testlands coaches and the teachers and teaching assistants.
Today children all across the school from EYFS to Y6 competed in an Intra-House Cross Country Competition. Pupils were awarded points depending on their position in the competition all added into their house box. Points will be counted and revealed in our celebration assembly on Friday. We are so proud of everyone who participated in the competition today. A big thank you to the Testlands team for helping us have such a safe and fun day! Well done. Go Team Oakwood!

On Friday afternoon last week, some of our Year 5 and Year 6 girls took part in a 6 a side football tournament and WON! Mr Stanley, Mr Ship and Mr Woods from TMC very kindly took our team to Test Park to take part. Also, a huge thank you to the parents that came to support.
Team Oakwood have played their final three games of the School Football Season in the last two weeks.
They had their 5th match night at Holy Family school where they played games against Holy Family and Shirley. In blustery and difficult conditions, Oakwood worked hard and eventually prevailed 2-1 thanks to goals from Vinny and Sonny.
The second game of the night saw Oakwood come from behind to grab a 2-2 draw against Shirley. Sonny grabbing both goals in a difficult game against a well organised team.
Oakwood's final game of the season was against league winners Fairisle Junior School. It was a thrilling match with both teams determined the finish the season with a victory. It was Fairisle who scored first, but, once Oakwood had equalised through a long range strike from Vinny, it was Oakwood who looked more likely to grab the win. However, neither team could find a winning goal and the match finished 1-1.
It has been a good season for Team Oakwood with only one loss, meaning a second place league finish. Well done to all the squad, and thank you to the parents who have supported the team this year.

Oakwood kept up their winning start to the league season with a 4-0 win over Holy Family in theire second game. An excellent team performance was topped off with two goals a piece from Vinny and Ethan. Midfielder Will picking up the Man of the Match award.
The games keep coming in the last two weeks of the half term before the weather and light changes and the Winter break begins.
This Monday was the turn of the U11s at the annual 6-A-Side tournament.

Team Oakwood took part in the Annual Wide Lane 6-A-Side football tournament today.
The weather was fantastic and the conditions were great but Team Oakwood didn't manage to qualify for the quarter finals after winning 1, drawing 1 and losing 2 of their four group games.
The team played well and got better and better with each game.
They were narrowly beaten by group winners Kanes Hill 1-0, before going down for a second time in two games - losing 0-2 to Abbotswood. Oakwood drew the third game 0-0 but were unlucky not to take the three points having hit the crossbar, post and having a shot cleared off the line. They did however beat Sholing their last group game, winning 2-0 with Radu grabbing both goals.
Well done to all the Oakwood players but Player of the Tournament went to goal scorer Radu.
Year six have had such an exciting first week back after their long summer holidays. They took part in a Design Technology and Science week - Wacky Races.
The children worked in small groups during the course of the week to design, make and power 'wacky' racing cars. These were put to the test on Friday afternoon as the groups competed for three winners' awards (Fastest Car, Best Design and Best Teamwork).
The children enjoyed their first week back and are looking forward to a successful year in Y6.
Oakwood sent 24 children from years 2,4 and 6 to Fairisle Junior School this morning to take part in the Lordshill and Federation Sports Day.
The children compete against other children, of the same age, from other Federation Schools in a range of different sporting events. The children did Oakwood proud and competed with determination and thoroughly enjoyed their morning.
They also finished in 1st place!!!
Well done Tam Oakwood.
Team Oakwood went to the Outdoor Sports Centre on Tuesday to take part in the annual City Athletics Championships. 20 schools competed in the all day event, with some of the best athletes in the City competing.
Team Oakwood performed well and picked up some excellent results. The boys team picked up 15 points -enough for 9th place. Whilst the girls team earned 30 points (just 2 points shy of coming 2nd) for 4th place.
A combined Team Oakwood 45 points was enough for 6th place! Another solid performance at the City Athletics against some much bigger Southampton schools.
Well done to all our competitors but special mentions to our new City Champions - Edward, Sunny-Rose and Praise.
Year 3 would like to say a big thank you to Ita, who visited us last week from Quorn to talk to us about Healthy Eating and the Eat Well Healthy Plate!
We had a great time learning about how you can have a balanced diet and we impressed her with our knowledge of different foods and ingredients.
We were also joined by Chris from Southampton City Catering, who produce our wonderful school meals.
We would like to say a big Thank You to all of them!
The school football team played their final matches of the year on Friday afternoon, in the beautiful sunshine at Test Park. It was a last appearance in team colours for a number of players and a final chance to stake a claim for the player of the year awards.
The team got off to a solid start in a tough game against St Mary's - drawing 1-1 having fallen behind. The team's second game was against Bassett Green - Oakwood prevailing 1-0 in a game the team played very well in. The two final group games, against Beechwood and Fairisle B, were both 0-0 draws. This meant that Oakwood finished unbeaten in their group games but only picked up 6 points meaning Oakwood needed either Fairisle B or Beechwood to beat the other in order to progress to the quarter finals. However, they played out a 0-0 draw - eliminating Oakwood from the competition.
Well done to our goal scorers: Tom (1) and Sonny (1) and to our Man of the Match - Fin.
Team Oakwood played their final league game of the season on Thursday after school as they took on Fairisle Junior School (who have already been crowned league champions).
Team Oakwood had two games today. The first was against Holy Family and Oakwood started the game very well. Oakwood didn't seem to have much luck in the first half, hitting the post three times and have shot cleared off the line before Holy Family had even had a shot! However, from their only two shots, Holy Family ended the first half 2-0 up! The team never gave up hope and continued to give their all, finally getting a goal with 5 minutes left of the game. A second goal quickly followed and only the final whistle stopped Oakwood from a dramatic turn around as they were on top.
Well done Goal scorers Sonny and Leo.
After a game break, the second game saw Oakwood take on Shirley Junior School. Oakwood played well and despite some resolute defending by the Shirley team, took the lead early in the second half -Will finding the back of the net. Sonny quickly made it 2-0 and come the final whistle Oakwood were celebrating a well deserved victory.
Well done to our player of the day, Praise.
Following a successful qualifying campaign, the Oakwood Indoor Athletics team took part in the Indoor Athletics Finals after school on Monday.
The separate Girls and Boys teams competed in both 'track' and 'field' events with points being awarded in each discipline.
The team did really well, winning a number of events in both the track and field, and with their scores combined Tam Oakwood managed 3rd place! Well done everyone.

This afternoon Team Oakwood took part in the Southampton 6-A-Side Girls football tournament at Wide Lane.
The 8 girls performed magnificently in their eight matches, scoring 31 goals and conceding only 1!
During their group games Oakwood played some excellent football and scored some amazing goals in their 6 games.
Oakwood 5-0 Foundry Lane
Oakwood 5-0 Bassett Green A
Oakwood 7-0 Bassett Green B
Oakwood 1-0 Abbotswood
Oakwood 2-1 Foxhills
Oakwood 6-0 Townhill
Oakwood were just as dominant during the semi-final against Springhill, winning 4-0. Meaning Oakwood progressed to the final in high spirits.
The final was to be played against Bartley, who had also progressed to the final with a 4-0 win in the other semi-final. The Oakwood defence ensured they kept the Bartley attackers at bay with a disciplined display and the midfield battled for every tackle. After 10 minutes the game was still 0-0 and extra time was needed. Then, following a fantastic run by defender, Angel, and a smart one-two on the edge of the box, Angel slotted the ball into the bottom corner - Oakwood taking a 1-0 lead. Oakwood held their nerve for the final minute and were victorious!
City Champions!
Well done to all the players. It was impossible to pick a player of the day so well done to the whole team! Goal scorers: Mia (7), Praise (7), Caitlin (7), Summer (7) and Angel (2).
Today we had our final show of Oakwood's Got Talent. The finalists in Key Satge 1 performed a variety of acts in front of an audience and panel of judges.
We saw dances, a comedy act, a magic show and singing. The judges were so impressed with all of the acts and had a very difficult decision to choose the winners.
