World Book Day in Eagles and Kestrels - We had a fun day and week of activities based around reading and the sharing of stories. Rhian Tracey, the author of The Bletchley Park Stories visited us, we took part in the Footie and Bookie Quiz and shared books with our Year 2 buddies. We dressed up on WBD and had fun exploring 'Find Your Way' looking for different ways to enjoy reading.
'Making our Voice Heard' has been our Street Art theme this term. We enjoyed time together with Eagles and Kestrels to create graffiti style posters on the theme of 'Be Kind'
Year 6 Inter House Netball Afternoon 12.2.25 To conclude our PE lessons this term Eagles and Kestrels joined together in their House Teams to play short games of netball. It was a fun afternoon of competition and the children played well and supported each other throughout on and off the court. After a tense final between Purple and Orange House, the winners were Purple! Well done to all Year 6 who took part.

Woodlands Day 4
Woodlands Day 4
On our final full day, we have had a fantastic time in the caves, canoeing and climbing course. Despite a frosty start, the children wrapped up warm and got on with their activities. The children worked well in their teams, helping each other and the Woodlands and Eynsham Staff are really proud of how resilient and independent the children have been this week. Well done Year 6!
Woodlands Day 3
After a grey start, the sun came out again and we had another fantastic day. Mrs Bowler and Miss Billington's groups have been on the climbing wall, zip wire and the high ropes course and Mr Wyatt's group have been canoeing. Despite the cold, the children coped really well and nobody gave up and many achieved personal successes, with lots of smiles!
Woodlands Day 3
Woodlands Day 2
The sun has come out! It has been a beautiful day for canoeing and caving. Mrs Bowler's group went on the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal and the children had a fantastic time learning how to paddle canoes. It was quite tricky but everyone persevered and by the afternoon we were all standing up in our canoes, paddling and balancing - we all kept dry!
Meanwhile, Mr Wyatt and Mrs Billington's groups headed to the Brecon caves. After a long but picturesque walk in the winter sunshine, they headed into the caves and enjoyed exploring the passages. Some children enjoyed squeezing through the tunnels and getting wet crawling around the chambers. It was lovely to see the children have a go and embrace the new experiences.
After a dinner of sausage, mash and vegetables, the children have been orienteering within the grounds of Woodlands, using torches and maps. We have had a day of laughter and fun!

Mandarin lessons in Year 6
Bikeability - The Year 6 children have taken part in the national cycling programme 'Bikeability'. They have learned practical riding skills and developed an understanding of riding on our busy roads safely.
On Friday the 11th of October, all Year 6 pupils attended Junior Citizen in Oxford. It is a safety education programme run by Oxfordshire County Council, involving the police, fire and ambulance service. It also includes road and water safety, as well as online safety. The children had a fantastic morning engaging in a range of practical scenarios and every child had the chance to make a practice 999 call. The sessions were informative and both classes worked well together in their groups to talk about keeping safe and how they would respond to different situations. Well done Eagles and Kestrels!
