Welcome back to school!

Mrs Thornhill was really pleased to see so many of you at Songsters this week.

We are sure that the year 6's are starting to get really excited about going the O2 concert. 

Here is the link for the O2 lyrics for you to print off at home :

Goodbye and Good Luck to all Year 6

It is hard to believe that it’s time to say farewell to you all, but it is a time for reflection, celebration, anticipation and hope.

You have definitely come a long way from the timid new reception students you were seven years ago, to the  wonderful young people you are today

As it comes time to say goodbye and your days at primary school come to an end, I am sure that you will be taking with you many cherished memories and friendships. Remember the highlights of primary school, whether it be your friendships, trips, sports teams,  great times in the classroom or any number of wonderful experiences you would have had at Oakwood Primary School during your time here. In doing this though, remember that if you spend too much time looking at the doors that close behind you, you may miss seeing them open up ahead.

The end of Yr 6 is certainly a significant milestone in your life. It is time to celebrate the wonderful things you have achieved so far in your learning journey and to look ahead to the new adventure that awaits … high school.
Celebrate this milestone with your friends, your family and your school. Be proud of your achievements and what you have learnt, because it’s those things that have helped to shape the person you are today.

 We have loved teaching you this year, and will miss you all terribly - Good luck and dream big!

    This week we have been learning about Greece and created posters about it. We also tried lots of foods such as tomatoes, olives, pitta bread, Tzatziki sauce and feta cheese.

Here are some facts about Greece:

• The main export in Greece is Olives and Olive oil
• The climate is very hot and sunny
• The area of Greece is 50,961 square miles
• The capital of Greece is Athens
• The greek national sport is football
• the population of Greece is about 11 million
• Greece has a very sandy and rocky terrain and very dry
• Greece is a country is the southern part of EUROPE

 


We are working up to making pots out of papier-mache. Once we have made it we will let it dry and paint it orange. We will lightly draw on a design from a myth and then paint it With a fine liner we will outline and draw patterns.
