We have come back from a long holiday and have met Mr Edwards,our new teacher.We have learned about the classroom and about are expectations as year 6.Also we learned about the presentation expectations .A new boy called Boni came to our class, and he is being welcomed by everyone.We played people bingo to learn about each other.Also we got a word search with all the classes names.

Tables

Our tables are called: Churchill, Stalin, De-Gaule and Chamberlain. The Table Monitors are Katie, Lucy, Emily and Eliana. Each table has 8 people one it. They are all people involved in World War 2 such as prime ministers or generals. 

We are learning about World War 2 and have been making a  WWII fact page on who started it and how it started it. The Allies where :  Charles De-Gaule, Franklin D Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Neville Chamberlain and Joseph Stalin. The Axies where Adolf Hitler, Hideki Tojo and Benito Mussoline.

In maths we have done the first number of the week. It is when we have a number and then we have to answer questions about that number e.g. Square it . The number this week was 36. Today we solved problems and got our targets  .

 


Every week  we have a star of the week .This week it is Hannah R .The star of the week gets to do the blog,t ake the  register ,get a raffle ticket and sit on a special chair.Also star of the week gets to have a lovely certificate with lots of nice things about her on it which her friends have said.

Welcome back!!!

I hope that you all had a fantastic summer, the children are back looking clean and shiny, and are working hard - it already feels like we have been back weeks!

We are now settling into the new school year and that the children are looking forward to having the additional responsibilities that Year 6 brings, such as being school monitors and house captains. Alongside this, there will be exciting new challenges and plenty of hard work. To help the children with their maths, it is important that they know their tables up to x12 and that they are practised regularly. For literacy, the children should read for at least 20 minutes every night and learn spelling rules thoroughly; children will have receive a list of their spellings each week and these should be kept safe for easy reference. Don’t forget: these will be tested each week! 

Homework will be set for both maths and literacy each week and children are expected to spend thirty minutes on it. 

We have lots of exciting events happening throughout the term, and we are all looking forward to learning all the interesting topics that are planned this term.

If you have any questions or concerns then do not hesitate to come and speak to us, write a message in your child's homework diary or arrange an appointment via the office.

I am looking forward to a successful and fun year!

Mr Edwards

Goodbye and good luck!

It is hard to believe that it’s time to say farewell to you all, but it is a time for reflection, celebration, anticipation and hope.

You have definitely come a long way from the timid new reception students you were seven years ago, to the  wonderful young people you are today

As it comes time to say goodbye and your days at primary school come to an end, I am sure that you will be taking with you many cherished memories and friendships. Remember the highlights of primary school, whether it be your friendships, camps, excursions, sports teams,  great times in the
classroom or any number of wonderful experiences you would have had at Oakwood Primary School during your time here. In doing this though, remember that if you spend too much time looking at the doors that close behind you, you may miss seeing them open up ahead.

The end of Yr 6 is certainly a significant milestone in your life. It is time to celebrate the wonderful things you
have achieved so far in your learning journey and to look ahead to the new adventure that awaits … high school.
Celebrate this milestone with your friends, your family and your school. Be proud of your achievements and what you have learnt, because it’s those things that have helped to shape the person you are today.

 We have loved teaching you this year, and will miss you all terribly - Good luck and dream big!

What a talented group we have in Year 5 and 6.




A huge congratulations on all the children for being confident and putting on such great auditions for Seussical - it really does promise to be a great show.




It was such a hard decision for Mr Edwards, Miss Fowler and Miss Bick - you truly made our jobs hard!




Here is our cast list.




A huge congratulations to everybody; obviously some people will be slightly disappointed, but the standard was so high, that it was very difficult to pick. As always, we will endeavour to utilise the fabulous talents of all our Year 5 and 6 and everyone involved is equally important!
