The human circulatory system
Year 6 have been looking at the human circulatory system as part of their science. To help them understand the dual-circulation system they got creative with wool and play doh to form models on their tables. Do you know how blood circulates around the human body?
6K had fun dressing up in their fancy dress for the PTFA.
6K working on a tricky tarsia puzzle
In maths, 6K looked at improper fractions and mixed numbers and used their knowledge to solve the tarsia puzzle. It was tough going but we stayed resilient and did our best!
6W had a great time dressing up to raise money for the PTFA! Have a look at a selection of our costumes.
6K looking at the Blitz in English
As part of studying our new text 'Letters from the Lighthouse' we studied life in London during the Blitz. We looked at some photos of the effects of the German bombs and considered the thoughts and feelings of people at that time. We annotated the picture with examples of powerful and figurative language for a writing activity that would happen later in the week.
6W had lots of fun painting their remembrance poppies in art this week!
This week some Oakdale classes have been competing in the Redbridge Sumdog competition and 6D are delighted to have won: the first time an Oakdale class has been the overall winner! Well done to Tyler, Violet and Isabel who received certificates for being in the top 10!

6W maths had lots of fun trying to solve this pretty tricky puzzle! These dedicated mathematicians decided to stay in at breaktime to complete it. Well done to Tyler, who found the solution first.
This Thursday, 1st October was National Poetry Day. 6W read 'See Through My Eyes' by Karl Nova. It was definitely eye opening for us; we had some brilliant discussions about the importance of diversity in society!
