Enterprise Week 2021
What a busy time we have had! Enterprise Week has been full of activity and has been an incredibly enjoyable week, learning more about our theme of 'Valuing Ourselves and Others'. Our key aim has been developing skills for learning, skills for life and skills for work. The children have had the opportunity to consider the role money plays in all our lives, how to manage their money effectively, and have how to make money through an enterprise. Key skills of teamwork, communication, resilience, flexibility, delegation and patience have all been practiced this week. Today, we took part in a Hula workshop to help us learn new skills and have FUN!!!
The rest of the week will be spent planning ideas for a fundraising event to raise money for Just B! I can't wait to hear the persuasive speeches and vote for the winning idea!
Anglo-Saxon and Viking handling day
The year 5's enjoyed their Anglo-Saxon and Viking handling day. What fun was had trying to make sparks with flint, using a butter churner and spotting the designs on an Anglo Saxon helmet. Remember to ask your child what they learned today.
NSPCC Number Day 2021
We are having a fantastic NSPCC Number Day in Year 5! We have all taken on the challenge of dressing up in a number or something maths related. This morning, we have learnt about the importance of the NSPCC Charity and thought about how we can help each other. We have also completed a maths challenge - building 3D shapes from spaghetti and marshmallows! Our final activity, was linked to our class number...we had to write a story, rap, poem with the exact number of words!!! It was a challenge!!! Here are some photos of our day!
Be Internet Legends!
At Oatlands Junior School we promote using the internet safely at home and at school. We are delighted to have a go at building a 'Be Internet Legend' trophy kit, as part of Google’s e-safety programme. Inside the tube, the children found a set of instructions and pieces of the trophy. They had to scan the QR code to activate the online safety quiz. Each correctly answered question is awarded with an instruction, which the children followed to build their trophy successfully!

Art Award - WB 8th February 2021
The Award goes to....Shreya Raghunam
Shreya’s final piece, a colourful drawing of a Hawksbill Sea Turtle has captured the movement of this magnificent creature. She has used the skills learnt over the last few weeks to draw what she can see and to use line and tone to create a 3d effect on a 2d drawing. Shreya, your drawing is sensational, well done.

Milo has achieved a superb observational study this week, experimenting how drawings differ when the same object is drawn from memory and then observation. His observational drawing of a camera is incredible. Such care is shown in his drawings and his line and tone creates depth. A great piece of work, Milo. Well done.

Class Novel - Spring 2021
The Night Bus Hero by Onjali Q Rauf
'The boy's an absolute menace.'
'He's a bully. A lost cause!'
'Why can't he be more like his sister?'
I've been getting into trouble for as long I can remember. Usually I don't mind 'cos some of my best, most brilliant ideas have come from sitting in detention.
But recently it feels like no one believes me about anything - even when I'm telling the truth! And it's only gotten worse since I played a prank on the old man who lives in the park.
Everyone thinks I'm just a bully. They don't believe I could be a hero.
But I'm going to prove them all wrong...
Congratulations Elsie for winning the OIS Christmas Card Competition, Shreya for getting her black belt in karate, and Jemima for achieving her Level 3 in Climbing!
