Following on from their taste testing of sauces last week, Y5 pupils made their own alterations to a 'Basic Bolognese' recipe with the aim of making it 'Healthier'. Some choose a range to add a range of veg, some went for low fat alternatives to beef mince and others...well others threw caution to the wind and made some questionable choices! They seemed to enjoy it though!
Take a look at how they got on.
Y5's new Geography and DT unit is all about food from around the world. In this week's Geography lesson we researched a whole range of fruit and veg products from across the globe. We used Atlas's and thematic maps to find out how far our food has come!
Last Week was Children's Mental Health Week and to support this Oakwood had a 'Dress to Express' Day in each year group. We can all express ourselves in the way we dress, showing everyone who we are and what we like. We accompanied that by expressing ourselves in other ways and being creative. Can you spot any of these in the photos?
Year 5 have been very busy over the last two weeks. Lots of our classwork has been based around the Oliver Jeffers book - Here We Are.
Here's a few pictures of some of the things we've been up to.
As we sadly could not make our trip to Jude's factory, Jude's came to us! We learned all about how their famous ice - cream is made, whereabouts all their ingredients come from and what health and safety precautions are to be taken.
Year 5 had the best time at Winchester Science Centre this week. Have a look at some of the photos from our day.
We had great fun last week learning how to make pop up books in the style of 'Curiosity'.
What a brilliant competition this was today! So many children took part and had great fun running for their house. Thanks to TMC and to all our lovely staff for helping make this event so successful today.
What a great start to 2020 Year 5 have had. Their scientific morning involved learning about air resistance and gravity whilst designing and making a parachute for an egg. Have a look at how they got on.
We had an amazing time last week making Christmas cards that light up!
Here is today's Advent Book - Paddington and the Christmas Surprise.
Here is the Advent book for today...One Snowy Night by Christina Butler
Today's Advent book is Read by Mrs Petley. Grumpy Badger's Christmas is one of her favourite Christmas stories.
A little later than planned (few technical issues!) but still just as good!
This year, at Oakwood, we will once again be having an Advent of books in the countdown to Christmas. Each day at school we will be sharing a Christmas/Winter themed book (or part of a longer book) with all of our children. On Saturday and Sunday we will also be sharing books via video here on our blog and through our Twitter feed.
As well as providing the children with an exciting opportunity to share a book everyday with their teachers and friends, they will help children reflect on a wide range of themes that affect people all over the world during the Christmas holidays.
We will let you know each day what the day's book is and hope that you join in at home to share the joy of reading.
Today's book has no words but is one every adult will be familiar with... The Snowman by Raymond Briggs.
Year 5 had a brilliant day before half term celebrating their fantastic topic of 'The Titanic'.
Today Year 5 spent sometime thinking and reflecting at Southampton's Cenotaph, about those who lost their lives at War on this special day of remembrance.
Year 5 had a wonderful day today exploring Seacity Museum and having a guided tour of all the special parts of Southampton related to the Titanic. What a really great day!
