Oakridge School Running Stars – is it the altitude training?

 All our cross country runners in the Y3 and Y4 Stroud District finals on Wednesday were amazing. Their enthusiasm and efforts were noted by many. Our team was awarded two first and one second place medals – which for a very small school is such a fantastic achievement. We would like to give a special mention to Amy, Hester and Libby who apparently have been wearing their medals twenty four hours a day.  However, we need to say a big well done to all runners and parents who have supported training. It is rumoured that training at altitude in Oakridge is the key to success. 

Parent Questionnaire

 At the end of Term 3 a parent questionnaire was sent to all families. To date six completed forms have been received. Your feedback is important to us. It helps to inform decision making and review current practice.  It’s not too late, please return any forms to the box located in the reception area.

 Governor Newsletter.     

In order to further improve and enhance communication between families and the Governing Body an overview newsletter has been produced. The aim is to send out a similar document three times during the academic year. Your response to this publication would be much appreciated. 

 Celebrating China     

A full and informative day is planned for next Tuesday. See the flyer sent out on Thursday for more details.  If you would like to assist in the smooth running or have any artefacts or resources that could be used to support learning, please contact Carolyn to discuss this further.  Any empty unwanted shoe boxes would also be appreciated to help in the making of our dragon – please bring them in on Tuesday morning. 

 World Book Day     

Thursday 4th March is the annual World Book Day.  Official World Book Day Tokens will be distributed to all pupils on that day and we plan to celebrate the occasion by coming to school dressed as your favourite book character and bringing a favourite book to share. 

 Cloak Hooks      

Thank you to Mr Heath and associates who helped to resolve this issue.  

 Recycling    

Mrs Warren would like to say thank you to all KS1 parents for responding so well to the recycling homework set. We found it really interesting and earned four glitzys!
