Year 11 food technology
This week, as part of their food technology accreditation, 11s worked in teams to create the most amazing vegetable curry. Staff stood back and let them problem solve to find their own ingredients, equipment and follow the recipe as closely as possible… Each team did amazingly and in actual fact we wouldn’t pick a winner. The skills they developed, the methods they used and the final meal delivered was of such a high quality the staff were blown away! Keep up the determination and effort year 11s!
11s maths
Who says Maths is boring? Not us here at The Oaks! This week 11s have been continuing their work on place value… we’ve worked hard to partition numbers into their 100s, 10s and 1s. Today we tested this knowledge with a competitive board game style challenge. Who doesn’t love a board game? Fun was had, learning continued and knowledge was reinforced! What is not to love?

Y10 GCSE Art
Our new GCSE art group have been learning about the life and work of French artist Paul Cezanne for their first art project. They produced their own version of still life artwork during a recent lesson where they were asked to draw or paint a bowl of fruit.
Problem with emails
We are becoming aware of emails not being received from school where you have previously received them fine. We are looking into this and hope to resolve the issue early next week. Apologies for this.
8T Science
In 8T, we have started the new year learning about food and digestion in Science. Students did amazing matching flashcards to the correct organs in our digestive systems and even made their own fabric model of our digestive system!
8T RRS
In RRS this week, students in 8T practised making their own cup of tea and made their own placemats ready for the upcoming Macmillan coffee morning in school. Students enjoyed their cup of tea with a biscuit whilst watching Newsround together as as group.
