We have been learning about Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. We have also be comparing hospitals today with hospitals from the past (Crimean War). We asked children to produce a piece of work about our topic and present it to the class.
Year 2 have been learning all about Fire. We have learned about The Great Fire of London and Guy Fawkes in History. In English we have been writing Diaries and Fire Poems. In RE we have learned how a Candle is used as a symbol. The children were asked to do a Home Learning Project about Fire and they have produced some amazing work!
Year 4 had a great day last half term celebrating all of their learning about Ancient Greece. The children were asked to bring in a home project all about Ancient Greece. They did a brilliant job and were very brave standing in front of the class for their presentations. We also recapped everything we have learned this half term and made some Ancient Greek recipes. Did you know the Ancient Greeks didn't have tomatoes?
Year 2 have had a great day today celebrating all of their learning about Myths and Legends!
The children were asked to bring in a home project all about a mythical creature or legend. They did a brilliant job and were very brave standing in front of the class for their presentations.
We are so proud of everything Year 2 have achieved this half term and for having such a brilliant topic day!

It's been another fantastic week of learning for Team Oakwood! Take a look at what's been happening.
The Year 2 KW bubble have learned a poem to say a BIG thank you to all the inspirational people who have helped them during Lock down.
Once again Team Oakwood have impressed everyone with their great learning. As the time that we haven't spent altogether as a school gets longer, these photos and movies clips have become an even more important tool in uniting us all. It is so lovely to see all the wonderful things you have been doing and all the smiles on your faces. A BIG thank you from everyone at the school for all your hard work and once again we are VERY proud of you all. Enjoy:-
Lots of fun exciting learning this week to take a look at. Well done Oakwood.
This is for a message for all our Oakwood Primary children and families.
I love baking with my children, Sophie (9) and Edward (6)!
Edward and I would love you to try baking a carrot cake like we did. We have baked this recipe quite a few times as it always comes out well and we think it is delicious. My mum, who is an amazing cook, uses this recipe now and she has tried many carrot cake recipes over the years!
Baking is a great activity for all the family. As well as enjoyment, there are extra learning opportunities for children in the form of reading, writing, maths and science!
In addition to using the measuring scales to measure the ingredients, here are some of the maths questions I asked Edward as he was baking:
• How many grams are there in 1kg?
• 100g add 150g
• Double 250g
• What fraction of the 500g bag did we use?
• What is 4 tablespoons of butter in grams? 14.3g x 4?
Don’t worry of you do not have the exact ingredients. We used:
• All white self-raising flour as we didn’t have wholemeal.
• 1 tsp nutmeg and 1 tsp cinnamon instead of 2 tsp mixed spice (or you could leave out the spice)
• Golden caster sugar instead of icing sugar
We used an electric mixer to make the icing topping but you could also whisk it by hand.
The carrot cake also works well in a round cake tin!
We hope you enjoy the egg yolk in oil video – we thought it was very interesting!
Also, Edward usually says no to cracking the eggs but agreed to do it if I filmed him! He did really well!
Good luck with your baking! Have fun!
We all know what AMAZING and thoughtful children we have at Oakwood and in the past couple of days we have received a couple of emails which illustrate just this.
Incredibly, just like Captain Tom Moore, two Oakwood pupils have gone that extra mile during lock down and have been doing some fundraising.
A very proud sister in 5FL let us know about her very special young brother, Callum in Year 1, who has just finished running a staggering 27 miles for charity-that is a whole marathon! Callum started on the 11th May and finished on the 31st May. He raised a stupendous £686 for Cancer research. Unbelievably, he is not stopping there but is going to carry on till the end of July when he hopes he will have run a whooping 100 miles. A-MAZ-ING Callum!
But that is not all.
For another incredible pupil Lilia in Year 4 has also been fundraising for a very important cause. Dreamflight is a UK charity that changes the young lives of children with a serious illness or disability by taking them on the holiday of a lifetime to Florida. Lilia raised over £530 for the charity- which would pay for a whole day on Dreamflight. She did this by being incredibly selfless and getting sponsored for cutting lots of her hair off. Afterwards she donated her hair to the Little Princess Trust who make wigs for children who, for different reasons, have lost their hair. Dreamflight were incredibly impressed and emailed the school to let us know.
