On Thursday, Ladybird's went on a Welly Walk. We each took a piece of string and went on a hunt for Autumn leaves to thread onto them. We explored lots of areas of the field to find leaves from different types of trees. They were lots of different colours! We had a list of red, orange, yellow, green and brown.
While we were out exploring we sang our Welly Walk song (to the tune of 'Here we go Round the Mulberry Bush').
"We're going on a welly walk, a welly walk, a welly walk. We're going on a welly walk to thread some Autumn leaves!"
Our threaded leaves are now hanging in our classroom. Come and see what we have been doing!

Check out our posters!
Today we made reduce, re-use and recycle posters to let the school know how they can reduce rubbish in our school!
Woodpeckers get in the groove!
Last week we were joined by members of the charity Lepra, who had organised a fundraising dance day. Each class had a slot throughout the day and our Woodpecker class certainly enjoyed themselves as you'll see from the photos below. It fitted perfectly as part of our current topic on Feeling 100% as well as helping raise money for this worthwhile charity.
Oakfield Greenies get started!
Oakfield's School Council teamed up with Jean from Recycling Hampshire to look at how we recycle in school and to spread the word about how we can get even better!
First of all, Jean told us all about recycling and the ways Hampshire and the government are making England a 'greener' country.
Next, we decided on our new name...'The Greenies' and became very hands-on as we looked through all our school rubbish to see how good we were at recycling. We weighed and recorded how much rubbish and recycling we had. We are hoping to reduce the amount of rubbish and increase the amount of recyling before Jean visits us again!
Did you know that used tissues should go in the RUBBISH bin?
If something has been laminated it should go in the RUBBISH bin too?
At school, Jean said that only 'bottle shaped' plastics should go in the recycling bin!
We told everybody else in the school all that we had learned in Friday's assembly.... we will be keeping a close eye on everybody's recycling habits in the school. We also want to start recycling other items besides paper and plastic...did you know we can even recycle our handwriting pens?
Watch out for our posters to remind you!
