Silent Movies

In our music lessons before Easter, we were learning about silent movies. We found out that the music was added afterwards to make it more exciting. In small groups we chose a scene to act out; composed the music to go with it; recorded the music using a computer program called Audacity and finally we put it all together to make our own silent movies- what do you think?

Yeast Experiment

Our topic on Micro-organisms has been very interesting and the children have been learning about yeast. Here are some pictures of our experiment- why don't you ask one of the children in 6B about what they learnt about yeast.

Multi Sports at Woodbridge

Last Friday all of year 6 were invited to Woodbridge top take part in a multi sports event. the children were all mixed up and split into lots of different teams, with names like Tigers and Wild cats, they then completed a round robin of activities including hurdling, skipping and cheer leading. The children really enjoyed themselves and all participated fully - congratulations to those children who were chosen to win medals for their effort and also to the winning team. Would be great to hear comments at to what the favourite sport was and would you like to do more of it at Oakdale!

Instructional Texts

Last week, we were experimenting with writing instructional texts. This is how 6B thought you made a good cup'o tea!

Trip To City Hall

We had a great day at City Hall and we learned a lot about the history and future of London. I hope you enjoy looking at our photos.

Music lessons!

Over the last few weeks, we have been listening to a piece of music called Relay Race. The children were put into groups and had to learn the different parts for the piece using glockenspiels. After lots of hard work, we finally managed a class performance today; what do you think?!

Words of Wisdom

In RE this week we looked at the story of Jesus and the Rich Man. The issue of wealth and possessions was the topic of discussion and each table decided upon some phrases that they felt defined true wealth. I'm very impressed by their understanding of this, what do you think?
