Woodpeckers venture into the Dragon's Den!

Today, Woodpeckers have been testing out their entrepreneurial talents by pitching their chocolate bar designs to the 'Dragons'. These pitches were the result of several weeks of hard work - designing and conducting questionnaires, collating and presenting the results, brainstorming and testing ideas to come up with their final presentations.

The dragons asked some tough questions about the profitability of the children's business proposals, which they confidently answered under pressure.

Miss Blackler said, "The children have been looking forward to entering the Dragon's Den and have been working exceptionally hard. They have learnt about how businesses work and have developed useful skills in ICT as they produced their questionnaires on Microsoft Publisher."

All the groups made a good pitch for some investment, but the overall winners were Emma, Carmen and Libby with their 'Choc Shock' bar.

Felicity Aston comes to Oakfield!

On Monday 9th May 2011 Oakfield had a very special visitor.  She was an Antarctica explorer called Felicity Aston.


Felicity spoke to us about Antarctica, and she brought her exploring kit with her.  Some children like Maisie (Yr3) and Max (Yr4) got to try on some Antarctic exploring kit.


Felicity has a big red jacket and a big black hat that keeps her warm in the South Pole.  Felicity taught us how we could scare off a polar bear by making ourselves look big, and rustling a plastic bag.  She taught us about frost-bite and that the animals in Antarctica are not afraid of people because they have never been hurt.


We all really really enjoyed Felicity coming to Oakfield and lots of us want to be Antarctic explorers (but some of us don't)!
