The under 11 football team got their bid for fame off to a winning start in the National U11 Football 7-a-side cup. Last night they took on Glynwood,
Here is some of the work and actvities carried out by the children who attended International Club with Miss Limmer.
After battling hard to reach the semi final of the County Durham FA 7 a side cup, the Year 6 team fell at the penultimate hurdle. In a group of 5 schools the boys gave it there best go but lost to some excellent footballing sides. After defeats against East Stanley (1-3), West Boldon (1-4) and Castletown (2-3) they finally recorded a victory beating George Washington (2-1). Although a little disappointed they still have a chance of silverware in the Gateshead competitions.
On Thursday the year 6 team played their latest Felling FA league game at home to Colegate. With all 9 squad players on top form they dominated for the full 30 minutes and ran out 9-0 winners. Aaron scored 4, Jamie 3 and Oliver 2. Well played, the best you looked in a long time.
The Year 5/6 girl’s football team came so close to making the final of the County Durham 7 a side cup. On Wednesday they travelled to Pelton for their semi final. First up was a game against Catchgate. A bright start saw us race into a 2-0 lead with goals from Megan C and Anna. This forced Catchgate to rally and they quickly pulled a goal back but we hung on to win 2-1. The second game was against the host team Pelton. It was a tight game with few chances, but unfortunately Pelton did nick a goal to run out 1-0 winners. Unlucky girls, but you have improved greatly as the season went on!
After a Winter break that seems to have lasted a lifetime, the football season recommenced on Wednesday night with the girls team in the first round of the County Durham FA 7-a-side. On a cool evening first up was a game against the hosts Colegate. Early pressure saw Oakfield take a quick 2 goal lead through Megan C, but despite creating many more chances no further goals were added. The second game saw a tough 0-0 draw against Jarrow St Bedes, a game with chances at both ends but no one to apply the finishing touch. With Colegate and Jarrow drawing 1-1, it meant Oakfield progressed to the semi final, new s that was greeted by 10 screams so loud my eardrums are still ringing!!!

This week we started a new club in school! Children from year 3 and 4 were invited to join a local artist to try their hand at big knitting. We certainly did find this a challenge as most children haven't knitted with such huge needles before !! We are all looking forward to seeing the giant scarves that will be produced !!
ICT club are busy working on a documentary about Oakfield Juniors. They will be using the Digital Blue Movie Creators' hardware and software to produce a video. We should have it on our weblog by Christmas, fingers crossed!!
Over the last 6 weeks children from years 4, 5 and 6 have attended coaching sessions at school by members of Newcastle United Community Coaches. This concluded with an enjoyable trip to the home of Newcastle United.
ICT club have been having a great time over the last 2 weeks doing PHOTO MANIPULATION. In the first week they took pictures of eachother, then downloaded and saved them. Their photo was then opened in Photo Simple so they could crop their photo, cut, re-size, rotate, remove red eye and many other effects. They then completed their photos this week in club.
Please take a look at the different effects that they used and have a laugh!!!
