Oakerwood day 1

Y6 set off on their residential adventure on Monday! What fun they’ve already had! We are incredibly proud of them, everyone has given something a go, including the zip wire, leap of faith and monkey tree climbing.

They finished the day off with a bit of maths before settling down for the night in their pods. A great first night.

Well done class 6!

Mother’s Day lunch thanks

Huge thank you to those who attended our Mother’s Day lunch last week, it was a beautiful event with so many positive comments. Lovely to see our children playing and enjoying themselves with the female role models in their lives.

A massive thank you goes to our kitchen team who single prepared, cooked, served and then cleaned down almost 500 meals last Friday! Wow! What an achievement.

Grounds development

A huge thank you to Stuart Wynn and his team from KSPlantscapes, our grounds maintenance team, who upgraded our perimeter safety gates and fencing over the half term holidays and added a new fenced area around the Reception class woodland. It looks beautiful and will provide a great space for Early Years woodland adventures.

Thanks also to Bryan Howells who made new base areas for the new storage sheds, these look great! Big thanks to Pre-School for enabling this, we are delighted with the new shed.

And a big thank you (again!) to the Noden family for the safe removal of the old container! This has safely opened up the space for new areas to play in our grounds. Thank you for all your efforts with this tricky task, greatly appreciated.

Respect weekly awards

Having manners and showing respect are a staple healthy part of growing up to become good citizens in our society. We aim to showcase manners and have a culture of respect in school. That said, improvements can always be made, so we are focussing on highlighting positive rewards for respectful behaviour towards other in school. We introduced this to our pupils in assembly this week, where we created a word cloud together with the things we want to see in school to showcase our culture of respect.

Starting this week, each class will select a pupil to be their respect champion. They will receive a certificate in our Friday celebration assembly and their name will go into the draw for with the chance to be awarded the termly Respect Trophy in church.

Half term school ground improvements

Over the half term some safety improvements are being made to the front of school with new metal safety gates being installed at the entrances to the road and the path to the WMC. These gates will have self closing mechanisms and should remain closed at all times when not in use. Please be vigilant when using them as they will likely be heavy, younger children may require assistance to open them and should be assisted by an adult at all times. This is phase one of our external safety updates.

Work to improve the grounds next to the reception classroom outdoor area will commence in half term, with some work starting this week in the pre-school garden and a skip being used on site – please be careful when entering site near the skip.

The large container on the wooded area outside reception will also be removed from site over half term and the ground will gradually be repurposed. The area will be fenced off and is due to be transformed into an EYFS woodland outdoor area. An exciting new project which will take off as the weather improves!
