Song Lyrics:
I’m Late!

WHITE RABBIT
1 I’m late! I’m late!
I’m getting in a terrible state, I’ll have to hurry.
Better get a move on ’cause I’m running out of time.
I’m late! I’m late!
I haven’t got a moment to waste, I’m getting worried.
What am I to do? I’m going out of my mind!

2 I’m late! I’m late!
If the Duchess has a minute to wait she’ll have my head off.
Better get a move on ’cause I’m running out of time.
I’m late! I’m late!
If I cannot keep this crucial date there’ll be no let off.
What am I to do? I’m going out of my mind! ….. I’M LATE!!

Mad as a Hatter:

I’m mad as a hatter!
I’ve never felt better,
It’s hard to believe that I’m out of my mind,
But I’m mad as a hatter!
So pass me the butter,

’Cause life is a tea-party all of the time!

Song lyrics:

1. Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities

Forget about your worries and your strife

2. I mean the bare necessities

Old Mother Nature's recipes
That brings the bare necessities of life

3. Wherever I wander, wherever I roam

I couldn't be fonder of my big home
The bees are buzzin' in the tree
To make some honey just for me

4. When you look under the rocks and plants

And take a glance at the fancy ants
Then maybe try a few
The bare necessities of life will come to you
They'll come to you!

1. Look

for the bare

1. Look for the bare necessities

The simple bare necessities

Forget about your worries and your strife

2. I mean the bare necessities

Old Mother Nature's recipes

That brings the bare necessities of life

necessities

The simple bare necessities

Forget about your worries and your strife

2. I mean the bare necessities

Old Mother Nature's recipes

That brings the bare necessities of life

Wind in the Willows

Answers for literacy booster homework

It is great to hear that the Year 6's are getting on well with their booster homework and are enjoying using the YouTube links to find answers to any tricky questions in the maths homework.

We thought it would be useful to have the answers for the recent reading questions available, so that you are able to check and discuss their answers at home, if you want to!  

The answers for the most recent reading comprehensions can both be accessed here:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B6ZT_Pe-Q_ukaTNEeEg0WnJhZWs?usp=sharing 

Fiction is 'The Holiday' piece which was set on the 8th March.

Poetry is 'Throwing a Tree' which was set today, 15th March.

We will be checking and reviewing homework in our booster sessions but because these lessons are quite fast paced, we won't be marking these in detail as they are just for revision purposes. 

Hope this is helpful. 

Miss Bick and Miss Bowman 

As you know, Year 6 have started their booster sessions this term. They will now be completing revision homework based on the topic that was covered in each booster session. 

The children are encouraged to look up their answers for any question that they are unsure about. All questions and answers can be accessed here:

Goodbye and Good Luck Year 6!

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, trips, 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!

Izzy & Lily's AMAZING blog😀🌳

The Happy 2016 everybody! This is the first blog of 2016 and of course it's the best😃. We hope you like it.

Literacy 

 In literacy we have been learning about different genres. We have been mainly learning about mystery stories. Also Mr Edwards has been reading us stories from a book called Short. One of the stories is called There's Room For One More and we had to write our own ending for it.

Maths

In Miss Bicks maths group we have been learning division in Bus Stop, Long and Froggie Jump.

In Mr Edwards maths group we have been learning about angles. We have studied angles on a triangle and missing angles. Our homework is on a website called My Maths. Maths is fun.😯📉📈✏️

Science

In science we have been learning about Evolution and Inhabitence. We have only just started this topic, but it looks like it will be very interesting. We have learned about DNA and how we share it with our family. We had to draw a mix of two people. This is one.

Topic

In topic we are doing extreme earth. We made a title page for it which had to have the earth and extreme things around it. Next we did a lesson about extreme weather that have appeared on earth like tornados, tsunami and floods. We found out about lots of different facts about it like the hottest temperature recorded on earth and the coldest.

Art

In art we have been learning about cityscapes. We did 3D artwork by drawing and colouring houses and a hill. 

. 

Then we got a scrap piece of paper and scrunched it up into balls. We stuck the houses to them and then stuck them to the paper. This is Emily's. She was the first person to compleat it.

Big Write

In Big Write we wrote a piece of work about a picture of a creepy tunnel. We had to write the ending because there was already a beginning. 

Spellings

Our spellings are different words with dashes. We had a start of term spelling test with 70 word and everyone got between 30 and 70. Some words were easier then others.  Only Yousif got full marks, the closest for a girl was 69 which was Ellen's score.

Assembly

This week was our good learner assembly. We had Mitchell, Samuel and Joseph presenting and Daniel, Benjamin, Issy.M, Cynthia, Maddie, Izzy.P and Hannah.W doing a presentation.There was a presentation on Star Wars movie mistakes, acting and gymnastics. Issy S got good learner this week. Well done Issy.😆

I.C.T

We have been learning about a program called Excel in which we can sort data. We are able to sort information, do sums and make graphs. We have only just started this topic but we think it be super fun.

P.E

With Mr Edwards we started our new topic, gymnastics. We looked at traveling around. We can not wait to continue.

Take one book week! By Lucy & Joseph

Take one book week was where teachers chose a book for the class to read and share their thoughts.

Our book was the arrival and it had no words. 

We had to go over it a few times to understand what was going on. The arrival was about an immigrant   that went to a different country and couldn't understand the language that they were talking, also for no reason there was lots of eyes on buildings. Mr Edwards chose this book because he thought it was very challenging. He also picked it because it would intervene with lots of other subjects.

 Although we didn't change classes like we usually do for maths we stayed where we are and did some facts about immigrants. We wrote a bar chart about the list of immigrants and rounded it and some of us did a pie chart.

Art

In art we did some amazing drawings of made up creatures. We each used our wildest imagination to design and write about weird animals. Each one looked great and we worked hard. Diet, habitat, likes, dislikes, and habits. 

Now we will show you some of our work.

How can trouser pockets be empty and still have something in it? It can have a  hole in it!
In a one story pink house, there was a pink person, a pink cat, a pink computer, a pink chair & table. a pink telephone and a pink shower - everything was pink what colour were the stairs? There weren't any stairs 
If I drink I die & if I eat I am fine. What am I? A Fire
What word becomes shorter when you add two letters to it? SHORT
What can you catch but not throw? A cold
What is at the end of a rainbow? The letter W
What starts with the letter T and end in a T and is filled with T? A teapot
A man was driving his truck. His lights were not on. The moon was not up. Up ahead, a woman was crossing the street. How did he see her? It was a bright sunny day
