What an amazing day we are having! So many fabulous costumes and memorabilia brought in. We’ve had air raids where we’ve hidden under tables and created some wonderful Blitz artwork. #Oakyhistory #Y5Oaky

Year 5 had a very special visitor yesterday. Chris Bent came to talk to us all about his dad and some ex-pupils of Oakwood who were in the war. At times, it was very emotional, but the children were all enthralled by Chris and his stories. #Y5Oaky #OakyHistory

In history this week we became historians. Wearing our special white gloves, we inspected the school ‘Log Books’. We loved finding out more about the history of Oakwood. #Y5Oaky #OakyHistory

Here are a few more examples from our Monologue Slam #Oakyenglish

[Oakwood Avenue Y5 @Y5Oaky]

We’ve been reading the book The Barnabus Project and written a monologue to be spoken as our hybrid creatures. Here are some fab examples of the children performing them during our class Monologue Slam. I think we have some budding actors in our midst. #Oakyenglish

Having fun, working on our teamwork, our resilience and our communication with our final session of Commando Joe. #OakyPE @CommandoJoes

We’ve been investigating volume today using cubes. The children love using these practical ways to help them answer their maths questions. #Oakymaths

A fun session with Commando Joe, working in pairs to get letters for their team to create as many words as they can. I wonder who will be the winner? #OakyPE @CommandoJoes

Today we’ve designed and created our own fashion outfits from old clothing. Thanks to everyone who sent clothes in. We can’t wait for the catwalk show tomorrow. #Oakywellbeing #Oakydt

We loved baking roti bread and cornflake cakes on Tuesday! Lots of children pushed themselves out of their comfort zones and tried foods they had never eaten before!

[Oakwood Avenue Y5 @Y5Oaky]

What a fantastic nature walk we had! It was lovely to see the children outside, playing together and making their own fun. #Oakywellbeing

[Oakwood Avenue Y5 @Y5Oaky]

Today’s wellbeing activity was a mindful nature walk around The Twiggeries and Paddington Meadows (your children should definitely sleep tonight). #Oakywellbeing

[Oakwood Avenue Y5 @Y5Oaky]

We finally got to taste our Roti bread; some children loved it, some weren’t sure, but almost everyone had a taste. #Oakywellbeing

[Oakwood Avenue Y5 @Y5Oaky]

The cooking started with Trinidadian Roti bread; a mixture of dough, peppers, carrot and cheese. #Oakywellbeing

[Oakwood Avenue Y5 @Y5Oaky]

Our second cooking activity was cereal cakes with chocolate, marshmallows and smarties. #Oakywellbeing
