Our year 5 children have been inspired by a book called The Hunter by Paul Geraghty. They used this to create some fabulous art work using a range of materials including inks, water colours, tissue paper, marker and sketching pencils. A huge thank you to Mrs Turnbull for her input and guidance.

Oldfield at the 2017 School Games , by Miss Jones

Date: 5th Jul 2017 @ 9:19pm

Congratulations to the gymnastics team who took part in the 2017 School Games today. They represented Chester in the team and individual gymnastics competition. The children had to perform a floor and body management routine, as well as a vault! They did really well and came away with team 3rd! The children also won the 'Spirit of the Games' award which was awarded to the school that showed the best determination, sportsmanship and respect during the day.

I was so incredibly proud of the team today and they should be very proud of themselves for what they have achieved.

On behalf of all the staff and children, a huge congratulations goes to Abbie, Imogen W, Imogen F, Aaron, Ben and Eve

How does water travel around a plant? Yr 3 science , by Miss Jones

Date: 4th Jul 2017 @ 3:15pm

Today we set up an experiment to see how water is transported around a plant. We put white roses in water with dye. Within an hour they had completely changed colour! This shows how the stem carries water to the rest of a plant. We decided it was like a straw. Check out the gallery to see the flowers change....

Year 4 Writing in the style of David Attenborough, by Mrs Hover

Date: 1st Jul 2017 @ 6:24am

After watching some David Attenborough film clips, we used a similar style to describe the movements of the Water Horse on land, ice and eventually water as he is moved from the pond to the loch.

Year 1 have enjoyed their surprise pebble jar treat... an ice lolly and a party for Miss Hinge and Mr Egan!

A big thank you to Miss Hinge and Mr Egan for all their hardwork and good luck to you both in the future!

Year 3 have really enjoyed wearing their pyjamas and bringing their teddies to school today. This afternoon, we enjoyed watching Spy Kids 3 with popcorn and a hot chocolate.

Well done done on filling your pebble jar boys and girls.

Miss Jones.

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?

Mondrian art, measure and area in Year 5, by Mrs Bailey

We had great fun today measuring and calculating the area of rectangular shapes before putting them together in the style of Piet Mondrian.

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.

Check out our gallery....

Year 3 Science - What are the names of the different parts of a plant?, by Miss Jones

Date: 23rd Jun 2017 @ 2:55pm

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.

The children really enjoyed this activity and were all able to name and explain each different part's job.

Well done Year 3!

Y2 Llandudno Trip, by Mrs Harrison

We have had the most wonderful day at Llandudno! We went as part of ourt Geography and History work on the Victorian Seaside! We went on the Great Orme Tramway, watched a traditional Victorian Punch and Judy show, had a walk on the pier and of course enjoyed an ice cream in the sunshine!

Thank you to our parent helpers Mrs Riley and Mrs Ashford for joining us and to all staff for ensuring the children had a great day out. The children were absolute stars all day- I couldn't have been prouder of them!

Date: 19th Jun 2017 @ 3:25pm

Today in science, we planted our own flowering plant. We talked about everything a plant needs to help it grown into a strong and healthy plant. We will be sure to keep it in a warm place with lots of sunlight and we will water it everyday. Keep an eye out in the gallery for updates on how our plants are growing....

Angle Eaters in Year 3, by Miss Jones

Date: 19th Jun 2017 @ 3:04pm

Today in maths we were learning about right angles. To help us identify right angles in and around the classroom, we made our very own angle eater. They are very fussy and will only eat right angles. Check out our gallery to see the different places we found right angles.
