Summer Science in Year R

Hampshire School Games

The Hampshire School Games is a Level 3 sports competition between schools across Hampshire and the IOW. Schools qualify through being successful in their local (Level 2) events. It is a celebration of sport for primary and secondary school children.

Oakwood have already competed in one Level three event this year (Our Indoor Athletics team competed in the Hampshire competition in April) but we also qualified to represent the Southampton School Games area the the Hampshire Games in Tag-Rugby.

Although the RFU - who were running the event today did so as a festival - (meaning there would be no winners and losers - meaning no medals and trophies etc) Team Oakwood were very successful, finishing a hypothetical 2nd!

The morning group stages were drawn geographically ensuring schools faced other Hampshire areas. Oakwood had excellent results and finished the morning games with a 100% record and topped the group results.
Oakwood's results:
Oakwood 4 - 2 Binstead
Oakwood 4 - 3 Park Gate
Oakwood 3 - 2 Stamore Primary
Oakwood 4 - 3 Park View

During the afternoon, the groups were re-sorted with schools playing other schools with similar results. Oakwood continued to play excellent rugby and again did well against some tough opposition. Oakwood were finally beaten in their last game, but this was their only defeat of the day. By our calculations, this meant Team Oakwood finished the -not a competition- in 2nd place.

Well done to all our players for their performance and behaviour on the day especially our player of the day, Alan!
Try scorers: Jenson (3), Marcus (7), Alan (7), Joe (3), Praise (2), Sonny (3) and Nathaniel (3)

A glazing time at Oasis

Year 4 had an absolutely brilliant time last week at Oasis academy. We visited Tracy and her team in the Art department to glaze our clay elephants ready for firing in their kiln. We are now very much looking forward to seeing what they are going to look like after being fired again! A huge thank you to Tracy and the Art department at Oasis Academy.

Year 4 'Paint with scissors'

Today Year 4 created collage art work inspired by Henri Matisse's Jazz series, which is circus-themed. The children had to work in groups to create their pictures, sharing ideas and resources. They also learned about Matisse and his life.
