Year 1 - Material madness, by Mrs Harrison

Date: 29th Jun 2017 @ 5:01pm

As sports day was cancelled due to the rain, Year 1 have had a fun filled day focusing on materials.

We learnt all about where paper came from and how it is made before designing and creating our own. We can not wait to see what it looks like once it has dried.

In the afternoon, we focused on using scientific vocabulary to describe the properties of different materials. 

I wonder whether they can remember what our new words (transparent, opaque and absorbent) mean at home?

Interactive maths day at Bishop's High School, by Mrs Bailey

Date: 27th Jun 2017 @ 10:22am

Eight of our Year 5 pupils represented Oldfield on Monday at an Interactive maths day held at Bishop's High School.

Everyone really enjoyed calculating measurements of various pyramid shapes and exploring Bishop's High School to solve word problems.

Their favourite part of the day was the Village Challenge. Each group was given a budget of £125 and had to use this to purchase materials for the village they were constructing. We were thrilled to see the Oldfield group working productively as a team, coming first in this challenge.

Thank you to Bishop's High School staff for coordinating the event. Our children had a great day and came back even more enthused about maths and about Bishop's.

Ness Gardens (year 3) more added, by Miss Jones

Date: 26th Jun 2017 @ 7:50pm

We have had a wonderful time at Ness Gardens today. We had a fabulous tour of the Gardens and even saw a banana tree! Afterwards, we dissected a flower and talked about each part's important role in pollination. We also searched for different species of bee and did a mini beast hunt. We found a young toad, baby frogs, earwigs, a mosquito, woodlice and spiders. When it was time for lunch, we enjoyed a picnic on the grass.  In the afternoon, we had explored the Gardens further and even got a chance to play in the play area. 

The children asked excellent questions today and listened brilliantly to our guide, Rose. She even commended the children on how much they already knew about plants. I was so proud of the children today and gave them all 2 stickers on their sticker charts. 

 

Thank you you to Mrs Holmes, Mrs Ruston, Mrs Lloyd and Mrs Evans for coming along with us. Your support was really appreciated and we hope you enjoyed the Gardens as much as we did.

Today in science, Year 3 have been working very hard on learning the names and functions of the different parts of a plant. We then made fortune tellers to quiz other people in the class on each part's job.

Year 3 Science - What is a shadow? , by Miss Jones

Date: 14th Jun 2017 @ 3:43pm

Year 3 have had such a busy day today, investigating what shadows are. We started by striking a pose outside to see what happens when our bodies block the light.

Then we combined science, DT and literacy for a shadow investigation. We wanted to understand how shadows are formed so we decided to make the different characters (Rhodopis, pirates and the servants) and settings (pyramids, pirate ship, palm trees) from the opening of the Egyptian Cinderella. We then performed the opening in our colour groups. Thank you to year 1 for letting us borrow your classroom so we had a light source (projector) and a screen to perform on.

We had lots of fun designing, constructing and acting with our puppets. Check out our gallery for today...
