On Friday Year 3 walked to Down To Earth Farm, to find out how our learning about Healthy Humans corresponds to the biology of animals. We learned about animals diet, physiology and behaviour by interacting with farm animals and exotic animals from around the world!

Real Life Superheroes

On Friday Year R didn't turn up for school, instead we were visited by two classes of 'People Who Help Us'.

This helped us all finish our topic in style!

Dental Nurse and Head Of Kitchen Science Visit

Last week we had two visitors. 

On Thursday Mrs Lacy, the Head of Kitchen for our school, came to answer questions about healthy eating and explained how school dinners use healthy alternatives to provide a balanced diet. 

On Friday one of our parents, who works as a school nurse, brought in all her tools (as well as cans of coke and bags of sugar). She reminded us how to care for our teeth and answered all our questions.

The children we very pleased to have this opportunity to have their questions answered. They were very polite and inquisitive.  

Cross County Final race

It was the final race of the cross country league this evening. There were personal bests galore as nearly all Oakwood runners took advantage of the absence of several schools who opted not to race.

The league results will be calculated on a best out of three. The first 4 runners over the line in each weeks will form Oakwood's A team, the next 4 the B team and so on. Teams will then be ranked based on their accumulated positions, the lowest score winning. The boys teams were down the leaderboard before today's race but could improve. The girl's A team were ranked 2nd before today's final race so we will wait for the scores to be calculated with anticipation.

Oakwood Children in Need

A massive thank you to Oakwood for raising a grand total of £290.12 for Children in Need!!! Well done!

Year 3 Fabulous Gymnastics

Y6 Victorian Fayre

A big THANK YOU to everyone who visited the Y6 Victorian Fayre yesterday afternoon. There were: arts and crafts, toys, games, cakes and even a tea shop (with a mountain of cake).

The children did a great job in running everything and raised a super amount of money!

If we go down to the woods today ...

As part of our English and Geography topic 'Oakwood Explorers' we went on a woodland walk to our local woods. We recorded lots of words and phrases using our senses about the words.

Year 4 Testwood Lakes

Year 4 had a lovely warm day at Testwood Lakes, practising their orienteering and map reading skills. The children had to make dens using compasses to decide on the best position and use maps to locate and identify features they could see from a rather cow pat filled field! Year 4 were excellent explorers, well done.

Autumnal story telling

Year 4 spent the morning rehearsing an autumnal poem and were able to perform them through story telling. Have a look at how we did!
