Year R: Question of Faith

Today Year R had some visitors from Southampton City Mission. They came in to teach us a bit more about Christian beliefs and about some bible stories, such as the creation story and the miracles Jesus performed. They gave us some fun activities to do to match these stories and we even got to see some magic.

Thank you Duncan and Richard for paying us a visit, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

School Football Team - Match Night 4

The School Football Team played two games last night as part of their Match Night 4: one against Tanners Brook and one against Foundry Lane.

The team haven't had a game since November, and it took a little while for them to find their rhythm in the first game where they trailed 0-1 at half time. In the second half, the team really found their stride and dominated. Eventually their domination paid off and Oakwood striker, Sonny, scored two brilliantly taken goals - handing Oakwood a 2-1 win.

In the second game Oakwood started well, picking up from where they left off in game 1 but fell behind against the run of play. Only the Foundry Lane goalkeeper was keeping Oakwood at bay - making numerous top saves. The pressure eventually told, Sonny again making the breakthrough and bringing Oakwood level. Despite a couple of last minute chances the game stayed 1-1.

A good set of results on a very old night, with Sonny picking up the Player of the Day award for bagging his 3 goals.

Year 5 at Winchester Science Centre

My Bnk in Year 3 -Second Session

My Bnk visited Year 3 again today for our second session on being financially 'savey'.

In today's session we were given our profession's daily wage. We were then given a range of scenarios and had to decide in groups how and if we would spend our money. This led to lots of 'heated' discussions as groups voted on how to part with their well earned wages. It was interesting to observe the different decisions individuals and groups made: as the activity progressed more and more groups were reluctant to part with any money. Some groups also found that they did not have enough money to pay bills! 

Discussions were then held on the difference between what we need and what we want, and the lessons we had learned. Take a look:-
