Music in Year 4

In Year 4 our children have continued with the Showcase music teaching they missed out on last year. In these videos you will see them perform what they have been working on this term.  

Year R Nativity Performance

The children in Year R all took part in a Nativity play. They entertained us by their beautiful singing, dancing and story telling and we are really proud of their performance. Well done to everyone involved who supported in organising costumes, props and learning lines to help make it such a success. A real Christmas treat.

Wind Poems

Inspired by 'The Sea' by James Reeves, the children in Year 4 wrote, memorised and performed their own poems based on the wind.

Showcase at Oakwood

We were lucky enough to have Alex and his team from Showcase perform live for Key Stage 2 in assembly this week. What a fun, entertaining and inspirational start to our morning! Thank you Showcase!

P.S They will be coming back soon for Key Stage 1 - watch this space!

Year 6 Leavers' Production

Our Year 6 Pupils say their first goodbye to Oakwood, remembering and celebrating some of their favourite events.

A brilliant production, with emotional songs ("When I Grow Up" made Mr Taylor cry!) and excellent acting!

Thank you for entertaining us, and a really big Thank You to all the ex "Mr Taylors" who turned up to reprise their role from previous years! (That made the real Mr Taylor cry as well!)

We Won! Go girls!

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.

Panto Pandemonium!

Years 4 and 6 were our final year groups to entertain us with their Christmas performance yesterday - and what a cracker it was!

The evil witch was trying to take over all the pantos in the land, and make the baddies win. It was up to 5 courageous Oakwood Pupils to save the day by collecting objects from Panto-Land.

All's well that ends well, and good overcame evil.

Another brilliant performance to make us all proud! Well done Years 4 and 6!

Y4 Christmas Music

This is just a little recording made after one lesson. We learned some music notation, including rests, to perform different rhythms together.

Christmas with the Aliens!

The aliens have landed at Oakwood!

They came to find out all about humans and learned a very important Christmas story along the way.

Well done Years 1 and 2 for a fantastic performance!

Whoops-A-Daisy Angel!

Year R have treated us to a fantastic first Christmas performance over the past two days.

They told the story of "Whoops-A-Daisy Angel", who keeps getting things wrong - her halo is wonky, her dress is a mess and she is just so clumsy!

However, she ends up with the most important job of all - and does it brilliantly!

Music on the Map Concert

Year 3 performed in their very fist Music on the Map Concert today. They wowed us with their time keeping, rhythm and musicality as they played their instruments live and as a whole orchestra. Well done Year 3!

Year 5 Titanic Day

Year 5 had a wonderful day today preparing themselves for their boarding of The Titanic.

KS1 Oakwood's Got Talent!!

The children in KS1 all entertained us with a Talent Show having won a knock out round in their classes beforehand.

There was singing, dancing, football skills, computer skills and comedians.

What a talented group of children we have!!

Well done to everyone who took part - You were fantastic.

OSA Summer Fete!

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who planned, prepared, helped, came along, spent money, had a burger or an ice cream, played a game, had a flutter on a raffle, picked a tombola ticket, sang, danced, won a coconut, golfed, kicked a goal, nerfed a target, had their nails or face painted, designed a mask, had a cuppa and a cake, climbed or jumped over obstacles, or, in Ms Patchett's case, got gunged!

The OSA Summer Fete was a massive success and a lovely community event - a wonderful day for the Oakwood Family!

Thank you!

Year R Personal Best

The children in Year R enjoyed the activities with our sports coaches.

Maple Class Assembly

Maple Classes assembly had a Superhero theme. The children retold the story of Superworm with actions, shared some of their work they have done over the term, and sang a superhero song.

A fantastic performance, you all spoke clearly and with confidence! Well done.

KS1 Personal Best Day

This activity for the Personal Best Day in Key Stage 1 this term was dance. the children were taught different steps, practiced it and put it together with the music. They had a great time, there are some fabulous dancers!!

Year 1 and 2 Christmas Performance Straw and Order

Year 1 and 2 treated us to their performance of Straw and Order. We enjoyed super singing, wonderful acting and plenty of smiling faces!

Y4 take on Broadway!

To link with our 'Welcome to Planet Earth' topic Year 4 spent their PE lesson this week learning part of the choreography from the Broadway production to the Lion King. While some children were taking part in interhouse, the rest of us spent a bit of time perfecting our performance!

Oliver Twist Comes to Oakwood

The amazing M & M Productions visited yesterday and treated the school to Oliver Twist. Super acting, singing and costumes brought the story to life.
Take a look for yourself...
