At long last the sun has finally come out this week and we have enjoyed it whilst we can. Our Athletics topic is in full swing and we have been learning all the different aspects on how to be successful at certain events. This week we focused on the three variations of jumping. The long jump, triple jump and high jump. I think it’s fair to say we still need to work on our triple jumps but we will get there. Next week we will be moving onto reaction time and different relay races.

Let’s Hope the nice weather continues.

This afternoon, we had a special visitor from our local library. She read us some stories using fantastic expression ! We found out about all the different kind of books we could access at the library 🙂 Have you ever been to a library?

We are launching a new whole school project linking with the Read for Good Charity. The money raised by your child will help enable children in hospitals to access a wide range of books; free from infection. 

START DATE: TUESDAY 7TH MAY

END DATE: MONDAY 10TH JUNE

The aim of the Readathon is firstly to promote reading for pleasure by enjoying reading a range of different genres and to raise money, with the support of the School Councillors, for children in local hospitals. The children will get to choose their own books as its all about reading for pleasure!

What we’d like you to do:

Today your child has brought home a sponsorship form and a record sheet to record all the books they have read as part of the Oxford Grove sponsored Readathon!

1. Help your child find sponsors among family and friends. Sponsors can be given in to the office.

2.  Support your child in finding books that they enjoy reading.

3. There is an additional form to record all the wonderful books that they have been reading.

Remember to have lots of fun and try to read as many books to raise money. You may also win a prize if you read the most books in your class!

We look forward to hearing all the wonderful books that you’ve been reading!

We have been learning about growing. We read the story of Jasper’s Beanstalk. He planted the bean, he watered it and cared for it and eventually it started to grow. Jasper thought he would find a giant at the top of his beanstalk. We have planted some beans to see how quickly they will grow. Maybe we will find a giant at the top of our beanstalks.

This morning we had a fantastic Maths morning and parents were invited into our school to see how we learn maths and to help them support their children at home.  Mrs Day firstly met with all the parents to model how to use our brilliant computing resources that they can access from home. Parents were then able to visit their children’s classes and were given an insight on how they can further support their children at home.

It was a fantastic event and lots of adults across the whole school attended.

Thank you to everyone for their support.

Last week we had lots of fun dressing up as our favourite book characters for World Book Day and working with some brilliant and authors and poets during the week. Foundation Stage worked with Lynne Chapman, KS1 worked with Liz Million and KS2 worked with Matt Goodfellow.

Mrs Calland also took the lucky book review competition winners to Bolton Library for some special World Book Day activities. The children were able to listen to different librarians tell lots of stories and even took part in a catwalk to show off their outfits!
