    Yew Class went to an 🍈Apple workshop at Westfield and it was AMAZING!
    We learned how technology helps people create, draw, problem-solve and share ideas.
    'Yew' would not believe how much fun we had - we showed our super listening and teamwork skills too 🌟😊We were curious, confident and creative – just like real designers and inventors! 💡✨

    Y4 have in their first lesson of Art & Design, considered the definition of 'sculpture' and learning simple techniques for turning 2D card shapes into 3D structures. They needed to 🧱a 3D structure that could stand on its own. Well done. Next session they will be joining materials in different ways and to make larger structures! 🚀

    The British Museum Y3 & Y4 trip. Our children got to see real artefacts - primary resources relating to Prehistoric Britain and Europe.

    A special thank you goes to our wonderful adults/parents & carers that accompanied us.

    The children learnt how people in Prehistoric Britain lived very differently from us. They didn’t have phones, shops or schools like ours – but they were still clever, creative and great problem-solvers.

    History helps us understand that life, people & 'new ideas' help the world move forward. By looking at stone tools, homes and artefacts, they discovered how humans adapted to survive. Each change they made helped shape the world we live in today.

    History also helps us think about the future.

    The past explains the present – and the present helps shape the future.

    Remember:
    WE are now part of history too. 🌍✨

    Y3 & Y4 are studying 'Rocks' in the chemistry branch of science. They have been trying to identify them and build on their prior learning. Children may think that all rocks are hard and cannot break easily or that all rocks are heavy and therefore will sink.

    Challenge - can YOU identify 🔍 picture 1 and 3?

    Do you like these?

    a) What do you call rock homework? Hard work!
    b) Why was the rock always tired?
    Because it was constantly under pressure.

    Pride through achievement - A display doesn’t just decorate the walls — it sparks curiosity, celebrates learning, and helps every child see what they can achieve. Here are 2 displays from many in the school:

    1. BHM Masks - Behind every mask is a voice, a culture, and a legacy that deserves to be seen. Through art, Oldfield celebrates the roots that inspire us and the heroes who came before us.

    2.Estamos aprendiendo español - We are learning Spanish!

    When we stop to remember and reflect, we discover our superpower—kindness—and how it can brighten someone’s whole day! 🎁💪👍

    It has been 'anti-bullying week' and a week of remembrance at Oldfield - to think of others and what we can do and say to make a difference to everyone. It's thinking about the past, the present and the future. Mr. Bull asked the whole school to make a poppy and bring to his assembly. Every pupil in school made one that was in.

    When we remember how others feel, our hearts grow softer; and from that softness, kindness shines. ❤️
