Year 4 had a fun maths lesson. The children were recapping division using M&Ms to help. They were allowed to eat one each time they solved a question.

What to do on a sunny hot afternoon ..... fill the tuff trays with water and have a splash about! Year R had the BEST time

A massive thank you! Thank you to the PTA for funding our pond project along with support from Gateway Trust. A massive thank you to Jack Sorrell and his team at JS Landscapes for the clearing and excavation of the pond area, relining of the pond, building a new dipping platform and laying a path right round the pond. We really appreciate Jack giving his time for free on this project. Thank you also to Colin at Sydenhams Totton for looking after us on this project. We wouldn't have been able to complete the project without everyone's hard work and support. Mrs Isaac has already been using the pond with classes during their OWL sessions and has lots of ideas for further developing the area.

Year 4 camped out at school last week! The children took part in activities at OWL and had dinner cooked over the campfire.

In Art Year 2 used the iPads to turn their portraits into royal portraits. It was very tricky using the different tools on the app but the children were very resilient.

Year R had lots of fun during their OWL session. Some of the children played hide and seek and had very good hiding spots! There was brilliant team work with digging the mud to make their own pond. And lots of tree climbing, encouraging one another.

Year 5 and 6 had a great time at Little Canada on the Isle of Wight. The children did lots of activities including rock climbing, giant swing, archery, zip line, laser tag and buggy building.

In Maths Year 2 have been learning about tally charts. The children worked with a partner to create their own charts. They created tally charts on their favourite colour, hair colour and eye colour.

Happy Birthday Mr Cooke, we hope you have a great day!

Wow wow wow!!! Two of our Year 3 children wrote letters to Sir David Attenborough inviting him to visit Oakfield and show him how much we love and care for nature. They told him how much they enjoy his television programmes. Today we received a handwritten reply. How fantastic is that!!

Year 1 used ScratchJnr to create a sprite and background. By the end of the lesson the children could all add code to make their sprite move. Some could also add speech and change the sizes of their sprite!

Year 3 showed lots of resilience at OWL, developing their outdoor skills in firelighting and knot tying . There was some brilliant team work making dens and shelters and fabulous creative collaboration in the mud kitchen.

Year 1 had a fantastic trip to Marwell Zoological Park. Mrs Roue was so proud of the children - a real credit to Oakfield! They saw lots of animals and were lucky enough to see the tiger and the snow leopard which were real favourites. The children asked fantastic questions and demonstrated brilliant listening and amazing team work!

Year 1 had a very busy afternoon at OWL. It's been Insect Week, so there was lots of bug hunting and exploring to see which insect were in the woodland. Progression of skills badges were also given out. Through observations and direct teaching in groups or individually all the children have reached Stage 1 and are already making progress to Stage 2. Well done Year 1!

Year 3 had an amazing trip to Rockbourne Roman Villa. The children came home with a small mosaic they had created.

In Art Year 2 have been looking at royal portraits. The children decided to embrace their inner kings and queens. They posed in a way that kings and queens would and sketched it in to their sketchbooks.

Have a lovely birthday Mrs Rimmer

It was a very warm and sunny afternoon for Year 4 at OWL. The children headed to the allotment to water the pumpkin seeds they had planted and saw a few had popped up. They then dug up lots of potatoes planted by Year 5 last term - a successful harvest! In the woods there was some fantastic den building with an upper floor! The class ended the session with some mindfulness sit spot time.

Year 3 made newspaper front covers following Sports Day.
