Key Stage 2 visit to PGL.

The residential visit to PGL was a tremendous success and enjoyed by all. It is so rewarding to observe the children participating in the activities such a centre provides and to see them face challenges and often conquer fears. As usual the PGL staff were extremely professional and superb with the children. Feedback from the children was that the food was better than previous years.

Photos have been uploaded on to the school website. We also plan to produce a disc of photos for families who would like one. There will be a small charge for this to cover the cost of the discs. All pupils were a real credit to both the school and their families. I would also like to say a big thank you to Jason Williams, Miss Hayball and Mrs Warren for giving up their time at the weekend to support the visit.

Violin lessons.

Would your child be interested taking up the chance to play violin in September? Guilia Holland is in the process of investigating the possibility of organising group violin lessons with Ann Jenkins a teacher from the Gloucestershire music service. If you are interested please could you let Carolyn know.

School Administrator — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 10:43:01 +0000

I am writing to inform you that we shall be holding a PGL information evening on Thursday 24th June at 6pm.

The aims of the meeting are

to give you a brief overview of what PGL is
tell you about what the children will be doing
explain how they are looked after and what they will need to take with them

There will also be an opportunity to ask questions.

I would be grateful if you could let the school office know if you are able to attend by Monday 21st June to give us an idea of numbers. It would be great to see as many of you as possible – especially if your child has not attended a residential visit before.

Children enjoy China Day

Web Admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:19:51 +0000

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.
