Year 6 Boys Football Finals at The Liverpool Football Academy , by Miss Jones
Date: 24th Apr 2017 @ 9:46pm
Well done to the Year 6 boys football team who came runners up in their football league this year. The boys qualified for the Chester Primaryship Champions Finals which were held at the Liverpool Football Academy today. It was a brilliant day and the boys did Oldfield proud. They came 3rd in their group stage with 1 WIN, 2 DRAWS and 1 LOSS. The boys did not come away empty handed. Our captain, Max, was handed our runners up trophy for the league.
The boys should be incredibly proud of what they have achieved this year. As always, the boys represented the school wonderfully and it was a pleasure to take them to Liverpool.
Thank you to all the parents who helped with transport or came along to cheer on the boys :)
A big well done to: Max (Captain), Conor, Isaac, Sam A, Sam J, Sam W, Zach, Daniel and Ben.

Y5 Conway 2017
We had a great first day at the Conway Centre on Anglesey. Two groups climbed and had a go at the ropes course and the zip wire. Everyone had a great time. For tea we had either sausage, fish or pasta followed by a cream muffin. We visited the shop, played on the park and then had a go at the Nightline. We finished the day off with some supper and a DVD.
Ready Steady Learn in FS2, by Mrs Bailey
Date: 21st Apr 2017 @ 8:06am
Today we all had training in Ready Steady Learn. We practiced calming our bodies down after a busy lunch time.
Top tips from Audrey - the trainer and expert!
- Keep your back straight.
- Your shoulders soft.
- Your eyes soft.
- Your heart soft.
- Breathe in gently, lifting the air up with your hands.
- Breathe out gently pushing the air down with your hands.
- Think of your favourite colour. Imagine you can see it.
- Imagine you can smell flowers in the garden.
- Imagine tasting your favourite fruit.
- Put your hands on your knees and feel the material under your fingers.
The children in FS2 responded really well to this. They told us that when they were doing Ready Steady Learn they felt safe, calm, brave, happy.
Numbers, words and ROBOTS!, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 20th Apr 2017 @ 4:12pm
This week Year 1 have been developing their number formations, ability to read and write numbers 0-20 in words and they even turned into robots!
As robots, the class gave commands to each other. It was not as easy as they thought as they soon realised they had to give direct instructions using words such as; turn, right, left, forwards, backwards and even how many steps!
Year 4 Poetry, by Mrs Hover
Date: 12th Apr 2017 @ 7:19pm
Year 4's poetry inspired by the list poem, 'I come from...' by Robert Seatter
I come from…
(verses taken from some of the children’s poems)
I come from Chester, a busy city
Full of people
Friends and foes
Dotted around like landmarks on a map
Each leading different lives in different way
I come from the smell of cookies baking
The sweet scent wafting through the kitchen door
As the cookies turn golden and crisp
While the oven heats up
I come from the joy of finishing an amazing book
Silently reading somewhere in a corner
As the words come to life
And I get lost in worlds of my own…
I come from Florida full of adventure and magic
Where all your dreams come true
A swimming pool for a back garden
A theme park
Two water parks
Ice cream for breakfast…
Roller coasters everyday
Waves so powerful, they could knock you out
I come from part Scottish and part English
And wearing my first kilt at a wedding…
I come from a loving, fantastic family
Who love getting muddy and dirty
Going for walks with the dog
And getting sprayed by him
I come from hot holidays in Spain
And yummy, sugary doughnuts on the beach
I come from water fights with my sisters
And the smell of the roast dinner on Christmas Eve
I come from Trick or Treating around the streets on Halloween
And getting up early on Easter morning
Looking around for Easter eggs
I come from giggling and kindness
And spending time with my family
On special occasions
I come from popcorn and the cinema
Candy floss, the colour of the rainbow
Melting in my mouth…
I come from the library
And books scattered in a messy pile
Beside my desk

Y1 Knowsley Safari Park, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 24th Mar 2017 @ 4:20pm
Year 1 had a fantastic time at Knowsley Safari Park along side Year 2 and Year 4.
We developed our understanding about how to identify features which allow us to group animals.
Some children even touched a snake and a giant African snail!
The most popular event during the trip was the sealion show where we met some cheeky chaps.
In the afternoon, we took a trip around the safari park spotting our favourite animals and learning about those unfamilar animals. We even saw baboons climbing on top of cars!

The children are enjoying seeing acting live and I am sure it will encourage them to participate in similar events in the future.

The 'Choc' Cycle - Year 3 Science, by Miss Jones
Date: 22nd Mar 2017 @ 8:51pm
We had lots of fun today in science. We were learning about the rock cycle and used chocolate to help us understand how the three different types of rocks are formed. Here is what we found out:
The melted chocolate represented the molten rock or magma that is turns to lava when a volcano erupts. When lava cools, it forms igneous rocks.
Grating the chocolate igneous rocks represented the process of weathering where rivers and the weather break up rocks into bits of sediment.
We layered the 'sediment' and put pressure on the top to show how sedimentary rocks are formed.
When this set, we cut it open to reveal the layers inside.
Finally, we took some of the sedimentary rock and squeezed it in our hands to represent the amount of pressure and heat needed to turn a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock.
Using chocolate really helped us understand the different stages to the rock cycle ☺️

Y2 Glitter Bugs, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 11th Mar 2017 @ 3:33pm
We used glitter this week to represent germs on our hands. We experimented with what happens to the germs when we touch different surfaces and each other. We then investigated the best way to remove the germs, with either paper towels, cold running water or warm soapy water! We had great fun!
