Yesterday, Year 5 and 6 put on two amazing performances of "Read All About It!" Well done guys your acting and singing was superb.
It was Sports Day at Hanborough Manor on Monday and the weather was perfect. Year 6 competed in field events before lunch: then, in glorious sunshine they raced as hard as they could in the flat races and buttons relay. Well done to yellows who were ultimately victorious.
Reverend Emma came in today to invite Year 6 to a Hitchhikers' Barbecue at the weekend. The children had a chance to ask Emma some questions which they did politely and insightfully. I think it's fair to say minds were blown!
We had a wonderful day at Oxford Ice Rink today. The children showed brilliant friendship to each other - helping and encouraging their friends to skate from one side to the other. Afterwards, we enjoyed a bit of time in the park before heading home. Thanks for a lovely day guys.
Year 6 walked over to the Methodist chapel today for a Prayer space event run by Reverend Sue. The children took part in activities based around the Lord's Prayer such as: prayer paper aeroplanes, prayer plaits and looking at countries where people are oppressed for worshipping God. They were respectful, brilliantly behaved and even helped to pack up.
Yesterday, Year 6 travelled to Tilsley Park in Abingdon for the EPA Sports Day event. Despite the rain, the children performed fantastically with some outstanding 75 metre sprints and 400 metre runs. Children also competed brilliantly in: baton relays, long jump, vortex throw, shot put and mini hurdles. Well done to Spain - the orange team - who were the overall winners.
Year 6 joined year 1 and 3 at the end of last term to hold their Charity Afternoon for the Gatehouse Charity - which helps homeless people in Oxford. There were some fantastic stands and the children did a brilliant job. Well done guys!
It was the Easter Bonnet Parade at Hanborough Manor today and year 6 got into the spirit by wearing some hilarious head wear. Well done to all those who took part.
Year 6 walked to St Peter's and St Paul's in Church Hanborough today for the Easter Service. The children read a class poem about the significance of the rabbit at Easter and showed some of their artwork.
Year 6 were at Bartholomew today for a cricket festival. The children competed against teams from around the Eynsham partnership despite the rain.
Year 6 visited the Ashmolean in Oxford today to travel around the world in 90 minutes. The children saw artifacts from India, China, Japan and North America which they will describe in a short story about Jean Passepartout's adventures.
It was World Book Day at Hanborough Manor today and Year 6 made a superb effort dressing as their favourite book characters. The children also brought in a potato which they turned into a book character too.
This afternoon, Year 6 displayed their presentations in response to the question "Should every story be told?" Year 5 and 6 looked at each other's work before having the chance to see how their classmates had answered the question. Good work guys.
Year 6 travelled to the North Wall in Oxford today for a performance of Peter Pan. The children were brilliantly behaved and had a fantastic time.
Last night, Year 5 and 6 held their showcase for parents and carers. The children: performed a gymnastic routine based on Coraline, showed off their circus skills, displayed circus skills instructions, setting descriptions, healthy lifestyle information texts, circus outfit column addition and their books. They also talked about their experiences at Woodlands. Thank you guys, you were awesome!

It was Children in Need at Hanborough Manor today so Year 6 came to school dressed in pyjamas. Their contributions helped to fill an outline of Pudsey bear. Well done everyone.
What a brilliant start to the new term! Mr Sensible visited the school today to show us some circus skills. He worked with the children and gave them the opportunity to try: peacock feather balancing, plate spinning, diablos, flowers sticks, stilt walking, unicycle, trike and poi. As always the children were amazing and got the chance to showcase their new skills to the rest of the school at the end of the day.
Year 6 made the trip to St Peter's and St Paul's this morning for this year's Harvest Celebration. The children explained what happens to vegetables after they have been harvested until they arrive on our plates. They were very clear and finished with a superb rap. Great effort guys!
Our local MP, Robert Courts, visited Year 5 and 6 this morning to explain how a bill is passed through parliament. The children debated whether we should have P.E. every lesson. After much discussion, it was decided that we should have other lessons too.
As part of National Fitness day, Year 6 skipped non-stop for 10 minutes. There were a lot of red faces but we all felt a lot fitter for it!
Year 6 travelled to Oxford this morning for Junior Citizens. They learnt how to keep themselves and others safe in different - very lifelike - scenarios. The children were brilliantly behaved and a credit to our school.
