School Opening -Thursday 14th January 2010
Comments Off Dear All
Road conditions into the village and down to the school continue to be poor. Attempts have been made to clear the path around the school but this has proved difficult due to continuing snow and sleet throughout the day.
However, the school is planning to be open tomorrow at 10.00am. The latest forecast for tonight and tomorrow morning is that there will be freezing conditions resulting in ice. We envisage that a later opening will give a chance for the roads to be clearer and safer for staff and pupils to travel on. The ”phone tree” communication sytem will be used to confirm details in the morning.
We look forward to seeing all pupils tomorrow but remember please only travel if you feel it is safe for you and your family to do so.

Snow Friction Experiments
By Web Admin, January 12, 2010 10:47 pm
We’ve been looking at friction as part of our science topic on forces and decided to take advantage of the conditions outside! Children first carried out an investigation into which types of surfaces produce the greatest resistance and friction. They then used this to help them with their challenge; to design a sledge to carry the Oakridge School bear, Ted or his partner Tedina, the furthest distance (safely) through the snow.
Children were allowed to discuss this challenge with parents last night and were allowed to bring in any materials from home they especially wanted to use. The winners of the challenge were Amy Cook and Libby Dickenson who used a metal tray lid as the base for their sledge.
