Inter Schools Rounders Tournament, by Mrs Percival
Date: 7th Jul 2022 @ 7:00pm
On Monday a group of Y5 and Y6 children attended the Chester schools Rounders tournament in which over 20 teams took part. Our team won 3 out of their 4 matches and narrowly missed the semi-finals by one point. What we were most impressed with was their team spirit and sportsmanship, they were a real credit to Oldfield.

Y1 had a great day with Mr Hadfield at Forest Schools exploring our wooded area, looking for minibeasts and items of beauty within our enviornment, accessing quiet time and using our senses to notice the world around us, making hedgehogs out of clay and displaying them in our outside art gallery and toasting marshmallows on our outdoor fire. Lots of fun and learning was had by all!

We've been planting sunflower seeds and garlic chive seeds in our recycled milk bottles, using the milk bottles as mini greenhouses to aid germination. Keep your eye out for our bunting which will be hung in our quadrant.
Gazebo Day 2, by Miss Jones
Date: 11th May 2022 @ 3:37pm
Today the weather was too wet to set the gazebo up outside so Year One and Jacob moved indoors. We warmed up by playing the game where the children had to clap to catch Bob the fish. We then continued to read the story and acted climbing up to the castle, going inside and meeting the giant! We were so surprised to find out that the giant was friendly. We then acted out cooking a meal from the giant to Jack. After that we climbed back down the beanstalk but it SNAPPED! The giant cried as he couldn’t get back to his castle. We then made and decorated our own leaves to put on a beanstalk.
The children have been absolute super stars and really enjoyed the last two days!
Gazebo Day, by Miss Jones
Date: 10th May 2022 @ 3:45pm
Year One have been so lucky to spend their day in this incredible gazebo with Jacob from The Storyhouse.
We began by playing a game called ‘The Finger of Doom’ to get to know everybody’s name - this was very funny as the rules kept changing. We then started to read the story of Jack and the Baked Beanstalk. We acted out walking to market - the children were fantastic at demonstrating how sad and hungry they might have felt.
We then designed our own colourful labels for a tin of baked beans which we then got to keep take home. We were also given a bean to plant in our tins once we’ve eaten up our baked beans!
Thank you passion for learning and Jacob.

Year 1 Sports Day & Rocket Making, by Miss Jones

Sports Day
Year One loved their Sports Day on Tuesday. The children gave it their all in both the competitive races and the fun races. It was so lovely to hear them cheer one another on too. They certainly deserved their ice lolly treat afterwards. Thank you to Mrs Hilsden for helping us at the finish line.
3, 2, 1 blast off....
On Wednesday we designed and made our own rockets! The children thought really hard about their designs before drawing them in their sketchbooks. The children were concentrating so hard during the rocket build, the room fell silent! I was so impressed with the finished results. We hope you liked seeing them at home. Well done Year One!
