Year 3 - Our First Week, by Miss Jones
Date: 11th Sep 2018 @ 10:49am
What a busy week we have had!
Mrs Woodward, Mrs Woodington and Miss Jones are very impressed with how quickly the children have settled into Year 3. The children also brought in at least one special item of their’s and talked about so that Miss Jones could get to know them. We enjoyed getting to know Miss Jones during a quiz and when she shared her all about me bag. We even saw a photo of her when she was in Year 3!
We also talked about our School Values at Oldfield and made a class display for CARE - Can your child tell you what each letter strands for. We learnt the new School Rules and made a sign for our door. Every child signed each rule with their finger print too.
On Friday, the children enjoyed a Golden Time afternoon with Mrs Bailey and tried out their new activities rota. Can you remember what activities we have this term?
The chlidren earn Golden Time each week if they manage to keep all of their NOISE letters.
I wonder what we will do next week?

Year 1 Making a Victorian Toy, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 2nd Jul 2018 @ 7:00pm
For our history lesson today we learnt all about the Victorian times and the kind of toys that children would have played with.
We learnt that a popular toy at the time, particularly with poorer Victorians, was a cup and ball game, so we had a little go at making one of our own!
The children had great fun doing this and loved playing with them once we had finished. They did an excellent job of following the instructions and worked really independently to complete their toys :)

We have really enjoyed having them with us and the children are going to really miss them.
We would also like to thank them for their lovely card and for the copy of 'The Snail and the Whale' by Julia Donaldson which they kindly bought us as a gift for our book corner. We will think of them every time that we read it :)
We wish them luck in their next school placement and in their future careers :)
