Year 4 had a wonderful afternoon exhibiting their home learning projects yesterday. The children produced some fantastic work, from 3-D theatres to writing and designing their very own play scripts. They really showed off their talents and new skills.
Thank you to all the parents who attended yesterday.
Congratulations Year 4!
The Eco-Monitiors have come up with a list of ideas on how to save water. Here they are.....
1). Save water in the garden by using a water butt to collect rain water.
2). Have a shower instead of a bath.
3). Put a hippo bag in your toilet to save water when you flush.
4). Turn off the taps when you are brushing your teeth.
Year 3 have recently returned from a fantastic trip to Fairthorne Manor.
For many children, it was their first time staying away from home, so it was a real adventure! After settling in to their dorms and unpacking, the children had a chance to explore the site and take a peek at some of the exciting activities in store.
Archery, Arial Runway, an Obstacle Course and Abseiling were all on the menu, and the photos below show many of us braving a new experience:
After a tiring but fun-packed day, we all finished off with a hearty meal of pasta bolognese and doughnuts for pudding!
Watch out for the next instalment where you can see pictures of our campfire evening and the final activities.
The Oakwood Orchestra is coming on leaps and bounds!
All our Year 4 and 5 instrumentalists work with Paul Ibbott from Oasis Academy every Wednesday while the rest of the year groups have their music lessons.
We would like you to listen to how well they are progressing!
On Wednesday the 6th of April 2011, the OJS football team played in the Southampton City Cup final against Townhill Junior School. We had been expecting Fairisle Junior School, but Townhill had beaten them, coming back from 2-0 down in a thrilling semi-final.
We played at Staplewood (Southampton FC's training ground). We were 3-0 up by half-time and managed to hold that score till the final whistle, despite Townhill coming back a bit stronger in the second half. Mrs Rogers said "It was the best game all season!"
Thanks to Mrs Rogers and Paul for a great season and for helping us lift the cup for a second time!
In beautiful weather at the Saints Training Ground at Staplewood, Oakwood beat Townhill 3-0 in the final of the Southampton Cup. Match report to follow.
We hope you've managed to see our Gone Google billboards around town, including the big illuminated one on the Millbrook Road!
Google has now published our story on their official Google Blog, so please have a look!
We hope to do a little more podcasting in future, so we're starting today with a quick recording of three of our flautists performing a piece of music called Road Hogs.
What does it remind you of?
