Note from our Head
Dear Oakfield families,
A very brief note from me this week to say it is wonderful to have the children back after half-term and enjoying their learning both in and out of the classroom at Oakfield thanks to the good weather.
Fortunately, it appears the sunshine will continue to shine for our World Summer Fair tomorrow which I know our OAFs parent committee have worked tirelessly to put together and I look forward to seeing many of you there to enjoy all the fun of the fair!

WORLD SUMMER FAIR
Children have been putting the finishing touches to their 'world stalls' which will be proudly displayed at the Fair and represent the learning they have done this week about their chosen locations.
BIRTHDAY BROADCAST
Another brill broadcast from our Summer Term Head Boy and Girl!
Clean Air Week 13th - 17th June
This year, we are celebrating Clean Air Day with Oakfield's Walk/Cycle/Scoot to School Week. From Monday June 13th to Friday June 17th we're asking families to try to leave the car at home and travel on foot, on two wheels, or use public transportation to get to school. If that's not possible, perhaps you could park further away to help reduce congestion around the school.
The school run from all local schools is responsible for up to 25% of traffic congestion around West Dulwich. Air pollution inside the car can be three times as high as outside.
One in ten children in London has asthma and there are clear associations between air pollution and heart and lung disease, stunted lung growth in children, and reduced cognitive ability.
So please join us in celebrating sustainable, active travel this Clean Air Day. Your children will earn house points and other rewards for making an effort (but don't worry - there are no donations to remember or special outfits to wear!).
Clean Air for Oakfield is a group of parents who are keen to find ways to reduce traffic and air pollution around the school. We will have a stall at the upcoming Summer Fair so do come and have a chat then too.
Year 6
Summer Production
No rest for our Year 6s with rehearsals of their Summer Production in full swing which we hope you are as super excited about as we are. It promises to be a brilliant show!
Year 5
Greek Day
What a brilliant day enjoying the best of the ancient and modern civilization of Greece! From Greek food to weaponry to language to dress to battle tactics it was truly Hellenic on Earth!
Year 3
This week in Maths, some of our Y3 children have been looking at comparing angles, right angles and turns in our topic of geometry. We have been using our prior knowledge of fractions to identify the similarities between the angle of turns using fractions and words. Giving directional instructions has never been easier!
UPPER FOUNDATION
