World Book Day 2016 , by Miss Barlow

What a fantastic day we had on Thursday! A big thank you to all parents for helping the children with their costumes. The children looked fantastic. Also a big well done to all the children for being so enthusiastic. The reading of the children's favourite books was just brilliant and highlighted what gifted and talented readers we have at Oakdene. Take a look at our class photos from the day. There'll be more to follow too!
Personally, I can't wait for World Book Day 2017!

Year 2 had a fantastic time on Tuesday when British gymnast Hannah Whelan visited school. I think she inspired many children to do their best so they can achieve their dreams. The children had great fun completing the circuits as you can see from our pictures. What a great day!

Forces WOW day, by Mr Mullan
Date: 11th Feb 2016 @ 6:01pm
On Monday 8th of February we were lucky to have Mr. B come in to tell us all about forces. As luck would have it, Mr. B also knew lots about the Rainhill trials and the Stevenson's rocket specifically. He brought a real life model in that worked with air pressure and he was able to show us the different forces used in the engine.
We then moved onto making paper rockets and paper airplanes and then finished the day by making rocket cars. This brought all the forces together. Mr. B taught us loads of new information that will help us study our forces topic over the next few weeks. Everybody in class learned something new and had fun doing it which was great.
I would like to thank the class again for their fantastic behaviour and contribution to the day, and I am certain there are some budding engineers among the class from the excellent rocket and car designs.

We learned a huge amount about the trials and will be able to do loads of work over the next few weeks. Thanks to the mums who walked down to the school with us. Thanks also to Barrie and Chris who were able to give us all the information we need to complete the topic.
