Water, water, water... and a walk!

The children at Oakstead have had a busy day today. We kick started the day with a walk in the local area, searching for places we could transport our treasure to. When we got back to school we wrote and drew instructions to help someone find our pirate treasure. This afternoon we did three activities learning all about different things to do with water. We thought about plastic oceans, and what we could do to make little changes to help our planet become a better place.

Y2 Making Clay Shields

The children in Year 2 designed a shield that reflected themselves and then created them using clay! Once they were dry the children then painted them.

Year 2 Castle Home Learning

Year 2 have been really enjoying their topic this term of 'Knights and Castles'. They were given a home learning project to create or research a castle. They could do this in any way they wished. Every piece of home learning was different and unique. A lot of hard work was put into these projects and the children should be very proud of what they have produced! Well done!

School Football Team Match Night 6

Team Oakwood played their final league game of the season on Thursday after school as they took on Fairisle Junior School (who have already been crowned league champions). 

Fairisle started the better team and took advantage when the ball fell kindly to them after saves by the Oakwood 'keeper.  Oakwood worked well as a team, but Fairisle deserved their 3-0 half time lead. Oakwood began the second half brightly and Sonny scored quickly after intercepting the ball in the Fairisle box. Another chance quickly followed but the post denied Oakwood a second goal. The game stayed 3-1 until the last minute when somehow Fairisle scored directly from a corner.

Goal Scorer - Sonny (1) Man of the Match - Bleu.

Well done to the team for their efforts this season, they finished a respectable 3rd in the league. 

Quack!

Some lovely ducklings came to visit today and we had such a good time holding them! This week we have been learning about the changes that happen in Spring time and can tell you LOTS of information about ducklings!

At home, see if you can spot any Spring changes happening together!

Year 3 Sewing Part 1

Over the last term Year 3 have been learning to sew. We learned a variety of stitches including back stitch, running stitch, chain stitch, criss cross stitching and how to do a French knot. We learned how to follow a pattern, sew on buttons and, very importantly, how to undo any mistakes we made. To show off all our learned skills we produced a piece of embroidered  artwork.We worked very hard and used our growth mindset. Take a look at our finished pieces:-

Elm class and 5BW. Making Links.

For their home learning this half term, Year 2 were asked to create or research a castle in any way they wished. Every piece of home learning was different and unique. On Thursday afternoon, 5BW came to visit and view the fantastic work. It was a brilliant afternoon of sharing and making links to another class.

Y4 Shadow Puppet Theatres

Year 4 have had a busy few weeks creating their own shadow puppet theatres and using these to film their own plays. In English we worked in pairs to write our own scripts, changing the story of Little Red Riding Hood and introducing some familiar fairy tale characters. We put our drawing and cutting skills (and some of our parents!) to good use making our characters to put on our performances with. Once we had written our scripts, and made our characters and theatres we put them into action to film our performances!

Year 3 Anglo Saxon Day

What an exciting day Year 3 have had today. Our visitor Mike has been teaching us all about the Anglo-Saxons. We looked at real artefacts; played Anglo-Saxon games; explored Anglo-Saxon weaponry and finally reenacted the battle of Hastings. Have a look at all the fun we have had:-
