PTA coffee and cake sale, by Mrs Bailey
Date: 11th May 2018 @ 2:55pm
Thank you to everyone who supported our Royal Wedding themed coffee and cake sale this afternoon. Our coffee and cake events are always a special, community event.
We raised £104.60 which the PTA will use to benefit the children at Oldfield. As you can see from the photographs, the cakes were as creative as ever!
This is the last cake sale of the school year. On behalf of everyone at Oldfield, we would like to thank Leanne Evans who has done a wonderful job of organising our cake sales for many years. We are looking forward to supporting Lucy Wilson, who is taking over from Leanne and thank her for her willingness to coordinate these events. It is appreciated.
Congratulations to our winners today:

Year 2 - Growing plants, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 9th May 2018 @ 4:50pm
Year 2 are currently investigating which are the best conditions for cress to grow. We have placed six containers around school. One on the windowsill, two in the cupboard, two outside and one in the fridge. Some will be watered and some won't.
As as well as observing how cress grows, we have planted our own bean which we hope to grow into a giant beanstalk.

This display showcases Year 4's mythical sea creature ink drawings and part of their legend writing.

All of the children's work has also been displayed in a Class Book so they can enjoy each other's creations.
How persuasive are Year 6?!, by Mrs Bailey
Date: 4th May 2018 @ 9:15pm
Year 6 have been busy writing persuasive letters to a range of companies, asking for their support with raffle prizes for our up-and-coming raffle. Our PTA are organising a raffle to raise money to purchase new staging for the hall.
Emma has already received a positive reply from MODE of Chester (a hair and beauty shop at the Green Lane shopping parade) who have generously donated a couple of prizes. What a great start!
Y5 and 6 Samaritans visit, by Mrs Percival
Date: 4th May 2018 @ 1:32pm
Y 5 and 6 had a visit from the Samaritans today. The children discussed the importance of talking to people, listening to people and who they might talk to if they are sad, worried or upset. We also discussed how to try to stay emotionally healthy, how our emotions can vary from day to day and how we can deal with that by talking to someone, playing with friends, being with family or by exercising.

Year 2 - Plants we eat!, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 27th Apr 2018 @ 12:38pm
Year 2 have been looking at the different plant parts and which parts we eat.
We looked at the different types of edible plants and how they look different to help us identify which part of the plant they are from. We then visited Spar to look at the edible plants they sold in the store and even tried some at school!
I wonder whether they can identify whether the plant they are eating is the root, stem, leaf, flower, seed, a nut, grain, legume or cereal?
Year 4 - Pebble Jar Treat!, by Mrs Hover
Date: 18th Apr 2018 @ 8:51pm
The Water Horse Day
Today, Year 4 enjoyed watching 'The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep' with their snacks and cuddly toys. They also created ink drawings of their own mythical creatures and on Monday, we will hold a 'World Meeting' to discuss whether the Loch Ness monster is real based on different evidence.
Year 2 - Pirate treasure map and walking the plank games, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 17th Apr 2018 @ 12:16pm
Ahoy!
Year 2 were pirates today as they guided their partner around the sharks to find the treasure using vocabulary such as; up, down, right, left, North, South, East, West.
We then developed our turning vocabulary to direct our friends walking the plank blind folded by using phrases such as; turn, clockwise, anticlockwise, whole, half, quarter and three-quarter.
I wonder whether you could create your own treasure map at home to guide your friend or family member to the treasure using movement and turning vocabulary.
Year 2 - African plantain (banana) pancakes, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 28th Mar 2018 @ 4:11pm
Year 2 were given the challenge to follow a recipe and work in a team to make pancakes.
They each selected one of the following roles to contribute towards making the pancakes.
-
mushing the bananas
-
cracking the egg
-
weighing out 150g flour
-
mixing the ingredients together
Before making the pancakes, year 2 discussed the importance of hygiene when preparing the ingredients. As the pancakes were cooking, the groups discussed why it was important to cut open the pancakes when they were cooking and hygienic methods which could be used to cool down the pancake before eating them.
All children tasted the African pancakes and most enjoyed them. I wonder whether they can recall the recipe to make them at home?
Year 2 - Sorting and grouping, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 28th Mar 2018 @ 3:58pm
Year 2 have been busy sorting and grouping objects that are alive, dead and that have never been alive. We have used the term MRS GREN to help us remember how to identify whether something has ever been alive. I wonder whether you can remember what each letter stands for at home?
We have also focused on habitats and discussed why animals are suited to their habitat.

Should animals be kept in captivity? Year 3 debate, by Miss Jones
Date: 14th Mar 2018 @ 3:17pm
The debates have been had. The opinions have been shared.
Year 3 have been working very hard on producing persuasive posters or paragraphs to encourage people to consider whether animals should or should not be kept in captivity. The children have thought very hard about their opinion and have used evidence to decide if they are for or against zoos. It has been wonderful to read such passionate and thought-provoking writing. Here are just some of the fabulous persuasive pieces...

What fantastic writers we are!

Have a look at the gallery to see examples of poetry, non-chronological reports and descriptive writing.
