Parents and pupils were treated to a performance by the German Club on Wednesday the 30th of March. The setting is a lost property office and each pupil is engaged in conversational German while recovering their lost property. You wouldn’t believe the things some people will lose!

The videos take a little while to get on here so we’ve decided to post them one at a time as and when they are transferred to a suitable format. This way you can enjoy them sooner rather than later!

We think you’ll agree the Children did fantastically. German club is just half an hour per week during lunchtime. A big thank you to Frau Wise for her excellent work with the children.

Here is the first scene – The Lost Handbag

…and by 11.30, central networks had switched the power back on!

On Friday 11th March a special candle arrived at Oakridge School to celebrate the bicentennial of Church Schools in England. The candle is one of two that are travelling around all Church Schools in Gloucestershire this academic year. Each candle was first lit at the Cathedral leavers’ assembly last July and they will be reunited at the leaver’s assembly this year.

While a candle is at each school, a special assembly takes place and children are invited to write prayers, one of which will be selected to be added to the prayer book which will then continue its journey with a candle round remaining schools. If you would like to see the candle it is in the entrance foyer on the stairs. There is a also a picture below!

Due to our power failure on Friday morning, many of the prayers written reflected on the dependence on electricity in our modern day lives and how fortunate we are to have, on the whole a very reliable source of electricity.

On Monday our Year 3s and 4s went to Stratford Park for the last cross-country meet of the season. Yet again, all of our runners received good positions. In eights place for the year 3 girls is Zoe Gibb. For the year 3 boys, Ollie Gray is 52nd. In third place for the year 4 girls, Libby Dickenson, in eight place Esme Heath and finally for the year 4 boys, Ed Priestly and Seb Newton came 22nd and 23rd. On Tuesday the year 5 and 6 races took place, also with good results. The year 5 runners were given the chance to run in the year 6 race which our runner did. If you came in the top twelve for the year 6 race you would be chosen to run for the Stroud District team. Hester Miles (year 5) achieved this by coming sixth and Beth Ratcliffe got a personal best coming in in 23rd place.

For the past two meetings, the Pupil Council have been discussing Red Nose Day. After a long think we decided that the exciting activities would be: Malteser Racing (where people blow the Maltesers across a track with straws, biscuit decorating ( at school) and finally, a special wake and shake (wake and shake being a physical exercise in the morning that will consist of chosen moves based on Red Nose Day).
