On Wednesday Owls and Woodpeckers had a family celebration. We (the children) planned the whole celebration ourselves. We showed our parents some acts and we told them about keeping healthy as our topic was called Feeling 100%. We had a brilliant family celebration and then once it finished our parents came back to our classes and had a look at our work.

Do you know how to Murf?
Today the school Council (AKA The Greenies) met up with Jean and Debra from Hampshire recycling to create an action plan to help reduce waste at Oakfield.
We went all around the school finding ways to increase the amount of recycling we could do.....we spied on Mrs Tritton in the office....peaked into Caterpillars' class and walked all around our lovely grounds.
We have decided on lots of actions, here are the first few from our action plan....
1) Make lots of posters to remind adults and children how to recycle
2) Make scrap paper trays for each classroom
3) Label rubbish and recycling bins
4) Create a compost heap
5) Creat a school recycling bank
As you can see we have lots of work ahead of us at Oakfield...good job the Greenies are on the case!
After our action plan we 'murfed' ourselves into workers at a Material Recycling Centre (MRF). It was harder than it looked to make sure all the correct bits of recycling went to the right place!
We had lots of fun and learnt a lot...thanks Jean and Debra!
Watch out for the Greenies around Oakfield completing their action plan!

Ladybird's Welly Walk
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!

Owls and Woodpeckers learn about fire safety
Yesterday, Owls and Woodpeckers classes were visited by Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service to learn about fire safety and arson awareness.
They were given the opportunity to be fire investigators in a specially equipped vehicle. They also learnt about basic safety measures in the home and thought about a home fire escape plan. Ask your child about what you should do to keep yourselves and your home safe.

woodpeckers awesome street dancing!
On Tuesday 28th of June, Woodpeckers did some awesome dancing! We had a cool dancing instructor, Hayley, she was so encouraging and enthusiastic. She did the street/break dance timeline (from old skool to nu skool)
We did some magnificent moves!
Hayley did some amazing dancing in the hall also we did some pretty funky wave moves.
WE GOT MISS BLACKLER TO JOIN IN TOO!- she was really good it as well. Everyone joined in and did their best, it was fantastic. Some of us decided to take a letter home so we could join her dance club. But if you want, you can do it at school on Fridays after school (of course).
We got to play around with the moves and in the end we had a dance. Everyone was really good, especially Mia and Jessica and lets not forget Jacob, who was good too! We had an hour with Hayley, so we did lots and lots of dancing - and we thought is was absolutely brilliant!
Tuesday was ... well... I can't even describe it. WOW!
Even though we had to miss literacy!

digital art
Last Thursday, two people from Year 5 and two people from Year 2 were invited to a digital art course for the afternoon.
A man called Tony came in aswell as some children from local schools and told us about the art he did (digital art.)
We started off by doing a quick collage with buttons,fabric and metal.
Once we had done that, Tony came and took a picture of our collage and then he uploaded our pitures onto the computer.Then, if you wanted, you could have your picture taken too.
Everybody logged onto a computer and listened to Tony talk about what we had to do next. So everybody went onto a programme called paint.NET.On this programme you could put all your pictures into a digital collage. We were able to change the colour of our skin and clothes, we were also able to add pictures from the internet too.
We enjoyed it and it was very fun. We learned alot.

Oakfield's Multicultural Art Week
Last week at Oakfield Primary School, everyone was busy with their art. Every class had their own topic. The whole school did lots of exciting activities which kept them very busy.
Yr 5 and Yr 6's topic was the Far East. They walked to Goatee Beach and did some exciting activities like tea writing, pebble painting and Andy Goldworthy nature pictures.
Yr 3 and 4's topic was South America. They did fun things like weaving and worry dolls. The worry dolls were made of wire and wool. The weaving was very complicated but they ended up looking beautiful.
The infants topic was Africa. They had lots of fun with their art. They made murals of people. Then they coloured them in which made them look really nice.
At the end of the week we had a massive celebration in the hall. That's where we showed off all our work to the Mum's and Dad's who were amazed. Then we had a picnic outside and a chinese dragon decided to join us! Two or three other people played the drums and the cymbals.

The NED show visits Oakfield!
Today at Oakfield, we had a visit from Billy and his trusty friend Yo-Yo Ned, from the NED show in America.
They told us how to be champions and how to go for our goals. Billy was really funny and showed us lots of fabulous yo-yo tricks, along with great voices and sound effects too. He could've been a comedian!
NED stands for:
NEVER GIVE UP
ENCOURAGE OTHERS
DO YOUR BEST
We think all of Oakfield will remember Billy and Ned's great message. They left us feeling very happy and confident and we are looking forward to 'boomerang-ing' compliments to one another from now on!

Introducing Jon from Brazil!
On Wednesday, a lady called Avril, from Actionaid, came to talk to us about our new adopted child.
Over the past year, each class has saved money raised from Parent Celebrations to put towards sponsoring a child from another country. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to learn about a new country and culture and also help someone who isn't lucky enough to have an Oakfield Primary School to go to!
Avril told us about Joao Guilherme Santos Lemos (his name translates to Jon). He is 7 years old and lives in Brazil. The school council chose to sponsor a child from Brazil because they had heard about the dangers and violence of living there and they wanted to help a child avoid the gangs and get a good education.
'Jon'lives in a wooden house with his grandparents and his brother and sister. His brother is called Thiago and his sister is called Carol. Jon is lucky because with our money he can have a room of his own and go to school.
Jon has already written us a letter and sends us a hug. We are going to write to him and tell him all about Oakfield!

Art week
Art week is a week when we have 5 days of art.
In the last couple of days we have learnt how to do weaving, and we made an Aztec mask. We made it out of clay. We are going to spray paint it – and we might paint it different colours.

A strange thing happened last Tuesday!!
It was an exciting day because somebody was dressing up as a frog, so we hade to go and find some clues. There was a book called Tuesday. The book told us what happened (lots of frogs flew away on lily pads in the middle of the night).
After that we had to sort the pages out in order. It was fun!
Then it was lunch time. Suddenly the frog man came they again so we all screamed loudly and ran off. Then it was play time. Play time is where we run a round it is really fun.
