Class Reminders

By , May 23, 2012 12:30 pm

Whilst we are enjoying the hot and sunny weather, please could you ensure that your child/children brings a sun hat and sun cream into school (both named please). We are incredibly fortunate that the large trees on the green provide a huge amount of shade, but there is still quite a lot of the green which is uncovered.

Class 2 Visit to Copsegrove  – Monday and Tuesday 28th and 29th May.

Please could all pupils take something ‘fruity’ for their mid-morning snack on Monday and Tuesday for their visit to Copsegrove Farm.

Class 1

On Tuesday 29th May during the afternoon Class 1 will be discussing clubs. If your child is a member of a club please could they bring in any uniforms/artefacts associated with clubs to share with the class.

Thank you

May Revels Raffle Tickets

By , May 10, 2012 8:29 am

We’d love to sell as many raffle tickets as possible before Saturday so that we can boost our fund profits and sell even more on the day.

If you still have books of raffle tickets, it would be great if you could return the money to us ready for Saturday morning (either to school on Friday or at the raffle ticket stall on Saturday).

Many thanks for all your help, it’s really appreciated.  OSA.

Get On Your Bike!

By , May 9, 2012 10:40 am

Hopefully the worst of the wet weather is over with –and a long hot summer is in store! So now is the perfect time for Oakridge pupils to grab their bike helmets, get on their bikes and cycle to school.

Undertaking regular physical activity stands children in really good stead for keeping fit and healthy for life. There are many benefits to cycling to school including reducing traffic on the village roads/around the school and increasing health and fitness –but most of all it’s FUN! During the summer term, Oakridge school will be running a number of initiatives to promote cycling including: classroom activities, ‘Bikeability’ training for years 5/6, and cycling skills training for year 4. We’re also making the railings to the side of the school a ‘bicycle-only’ zone between school hours so pupils have a dedicated and safe area to store their bikes. We will continue to encourage cycling (and walking) as a healthy year-round way to get to our school. Although it may mean leaving home a little earlier in the mornings and it won’t always be possible when it’s really cold and wet, it would be fantastic for parents and pupils to encourage each other to walk and cycle to school whenever possible.

Thank you for your support!

Cross Country Results

Congratulations to all our runners for their hard work and achievement in the recent cross country events. Our runners performed very well gaining 1st, 4th, 5th and 8th places at the recent events at Stratford Park.  A very extra special well done to Hester who came 4th in the County Championships on Saturday.

Sport Relief – an amazing success.

So far we have raised a magnificent £458.52 for Sport Relief; this is well over the target that we set ourselves of £200. The event was enjoyed by all and we were very proud of all our pupils who not only completed at least one mile around the village but took part in a full range of sporting activities during the day.

Thank to you all families and parents who supported the event – and a special well done to Beth Ordway who took a complete soaking. Continue reading 'Newsletter 6 – Friday 30th March 2012'»
