Here are some of the finalists from our Poetry Performance competition.

KS1 Federation Multi-Skills event

Yesterday after school children stayed to participate in a fun and friendly event with Newlands Primary School.

 Oakwood hosted the event and our fantastic sports leaders organised the different stations for the children to work through.

The assault course included balancing, throwing, aiming and even crawling through a tunnel.

 Well done to all the children who took part.

SATs are over! SATs are over!

Y6 completed their final end of Key Stage SATs test this morning, and in traditional Oakwood style they completed their SATs CONGA around the school to celebrate.

Year 1 Observational Drawings

Today Year 1 have been outside in the quad drawing all of the beautiful wild flowers.

School Games Hockey League Week 2

Today was week two of the Schools' Hockey League. Both Oakwood teams had another two games to play and were hopeful for good results. The sunshine made the 15 minute games very hard work but Team Oakwood gave it their all.

The 'A' team followed up last weeks wins with a 4-0 victory over Bitterne Primary and despite dominating against Valentine it took a last second goal to salvage a 1-1 draw.
Scorers this week: Nathaniel (3) and Marcus (2). This week's player of the week - Marcus!

The 'B' team battled hard in their first game but lost out to a single goal - going down 0-1 to Ludlow. Oakwood struggled to cope with Valentine's star player in their second match and suffered a 0-3 loss.
This week's player of the week - James.

Both teams have their final group games next week.

Flower Art in Year 1

Our topic this half term is 'Growing Things' where we are learning all about different types of plants.

In art we have painted our own version of Vincent Van Gogh's 'Sunflowers'. We learned that he uses bright colours and big brush strokes in his art work, so we did the same.

We have also created 3D flowers using cupcake cases and other collage materials. They have really brightened up our classrooms.

Flower Surgery in Y5

Year 5 had a busy afternoon yesterday dissecting flowers. We worked in teams to identify the different parts of the flower having learnt about how flowers reproduce.

Anyone for ice cream?

The Ice- Cream sale went live last week! Sales went brilliantly with lots of money raised for No Limits (a mental health charity) based in Southampton. Summer Delight was a triumph team, raising just under £300.00. A huge thank you to Jude's for all your help with this wonderful topic!

Revising for SATs

We are so proud of our Year 6 children. Busy at work preparing for the SATs next week! They are ALL superstars and we wish them lots of luck. They deserve it!
