Comments (0) The children at Oakridge all enjoyed learning about China today. A variety of activities were experienced by all of the children including paper cutting, food testing and a Chinese wake and shake. The school was also visited by Mr Song who talked to the children about the differences between his school in China and Oakridge. The staff would like to thank all of the parents who helped make the day such a success.
Comments Off In these pictures you can see our vegetable garden, the village green (our playground!) and our Friendship Bench. Why friendship bench? that’s where any child who perhaps isn’t as involved in some play as as much as they’d like to be can sit in the safe knowledge that other children will quickly come to them and offer company.
And here are a few more pictures from around Oakridge Village, just because we like them!
