For the last time this year the children enjoyed their second Personal Best day with TMC. They worked through six stations focussed around different sports and they children enjoyed progressing through the stations and challenges!
Year 2 had a visit from the Plague Doctor! We were comparing doctors today with doctors from the past.
This half term we have been learning about The Great Fire of London. We recreated models of the houses, thinking carefully about the 2-D and 3-D shapes.
We practised in PDR by making 3-D shapes using bamboo canes!
Autumn 2016.
After only a few weeks with their given instrument, the Year 3 children put on their first music concert greatly impressing friends and family. Take a listen.
Today was the last day of the schools' basketball league.
During weeks 1,2 and 3 team 'A' performed very well in their league games. They didn't concede a single goal and scored over 40 points in just 4 games! However, in a very difficult match in the quarter finals Oakwood came up against Orchard House whose main goal shooter was in top form. Oakwood eventually loosing 10-2.
The 'B' team had a mixed set of games in their league, so didn't qualify for main competition - dropping into the 'Plate' competition. They did go on to win their quarter final 4-2 and quickly found themselves back on court in their semi-final. They ran out of steam in towards the end of their semi-final match eventually being beaten 6-2. This did mean that they would compete in the 3rd/4th place playoff match which they won by default as opponents Ludlow withdrew.
Well done to all the players who represented team Oakwood.
The results are in!!!!
Team Oakwood are City Champions!
The boys team amassed 70 points and finished as boys winners, and the girls finished with a mighty 77 points which was enough for 2nd place. However, overall Team Oakwood topped the table by 6 points: Springhill finishing 2nd and Bitterne 3rd.
Well done to all the team!
For the last few weeks, 12 of our best athletes have been representing Oakwood at an indoor athletics competition. After the competition weeks, where the top 6 teams qualified for the Grand Final, Oakwood were ranked as the No. 1 team and the team to beat in the race for gold.
The Grand Final took place at Woodlands Community School on Tuesday and saw Oakwood go head to head with: Springhill, Bassett Green, Bitterne CE, Townhill and Valentine.
The team performed very well and it looked like they had done well! We will however have to wait until the end of the week when all the scores will be collated and the winners declared - so fingers crossed!
Year 4 have had a wonderful past few days learning all about Tom Flecther's new novel 'The Christmasaurus'. Today we watched the live Puffin broadcast with Tom himself and we all took part too! We have also written our own poem based on the book.
