TikTok Algorithms-Exploring Coding through PE

 Year 3 started their new ICT coding unit by exploring algorithms. After watching a video to help us learn what an algorithm is we watched a dance routine and tried to work out what the algorithm was. After we worked it out we went and had a go to see if we could follow the algorithm. We then had a go at creating our own algorithms. Take a look:-

End of the football season

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 3 -1 Tanners Brook

The school football season got back underway this week as Oakwood travelled to Tanners Brook Primary school. Although it wasn't the double header that we'd hoped for, the team picked up where they'd left off in early November.

Team Oakwood looked solid in defence and were dangerous in attack, taking two chances in the first half to make it 2-0 before half time. A number of new players made their Oakwood debuts in the second half and all did well on their first outing in green and white. Tanners Brook provided more of a challenge second half but another well taken goal put Oakwood 3-0 up before a Tanners Brook consolation goal just before the end made the final score Oakwood 3-1 Tanners Brook.

Well done to our goal scorers: Vinny (1) and Sonny (2).
Man of the Match: Sonny.
