We are super proud of our winners this week and we cannot wait to here about all the exciting adventures Attendance Ted gets up to in your classrooms after the Easter holiday. A big cheer to Butterflies and Rabbits🎉🎉🎉🎉. WELL DONE!

Also a big ‘Happy Easter’ from Attendance Ted 🧸🐰🐣

This years at Oakwood we have celebrated Easter by taking part in our whole school ‘Easter Bonnet Competition’ and ’ Easter Egg Hunt’. Everyone created their own bonnets and crowns using a large range of crafting materials and then each class took part in their own ‘Easter Bonnet Parades’. All the teachers were so amazed at the wonderful creations that we all made that everyone at Oakwood were winners.
WELL DONE ALL FOR YOUR HARD WORK AND FANTASTIC CREATIVITY!

Also during this week we had a great time taking part in our ‘Easter Egg hunt’ around school, we followed the clues given to help find our hidden chocolate eggs and when we found them we got to eat them all up, they were very yummy! We even had a special visitor from the real Easter bunny who presented us with our ‘Easter Bonnet certificates’ and our own ‘Easter Egg treat’.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to our PSA for kindly donating all the wonderful resources for our ’Easter Bonnet Crafting’ and ’Easter Egg Hunt’. Thank you!

We also want to wish all our Oakwood families a very ’Happy Easter’ and hope you enjoy time together during the Easter break.

At Oakwood on Friday 1st April 2022 we celebrated the Hindu festival of ‘Holi’ 🌈 through a day of colour. Holi is a Hindu festival that marks the arrival of Spring, known widely as the Festival of Colour. It takes place over two days and is a celebration of colour , love and a triumph of good versus evil.

We all arrived to school in colourful outfits and throughout the day all our classes had a great time taking part in a range of colourful activities including colour mixing, painting, decorating colourful biscuits, colourful sand play, scarf dancing and we even enjoyed a colourful snack time and playtime. One of our favourite activities was taking part in face painting, we especially enjoyed creating our own wonderful creations using our face paint pens to help.
Everybody at Oakwood would like to wish all a ’Happy Holi’. 🎉🎉

❤️This week at Oakwood ‘love was in the air’ as we celebrated our friendships and love for each other and our families. On Friday, at both the main site and at the satellite we all enjoyed our ‘Valentine’s Disco Day’. We danced to all our favourite party songs, played party games and enjoyed eating themed party food. We even took part in lots of fun Valentine’s activities such as decorating Valentine’s cupcakes and created our own bunting.

It was lovely to see so many smiles and hear so much laughter throughout our ‘Valentine’s Disco’. It was also a wonderful way to celebrate all our hard work this half term.❤️

We would like to say a very special thank-you to our PSA for funding our special disco day. 💗💗

Last week at Oakwood we celebrated the return of our ‘Makaton Choir’. Our Makaton Choir takes place on a Friday lunchtime and we have lots of fun singing and signing together. Throughout our sessions a range of total communication resources are available to support everyone to become involved.

This week we proudly welcomed both old and new members and we all had a wonderful time sharing and using our fantastic singing and signing skills when performing one of our favourite songs ‘My School’. Please see the video link below to join in at home.

In the next few weeks we are looking forward to welcoming even more of our friends and we will be beginning to practice and perform some of our harvest songs, ready for our harvest celebrations.

At Oakwood, on Friday 1st October 2021 both staff and children took part in fundraising to help raise money for a very special cause ‘Macmillan Cancer Support’. In classes, all children had a fantastic time getting creative when decorating their own cakes to eat in school or some even took them home, we all created amazing unique designs. WELL DONE TO ALL!!! Our Oakwood staff also helped raise money by holding our own staff cake sale.

We would like to say a ‘huge thankyou’ to all parents for your very kind donations, they were greatly accepted. Please keep your eyes peeled to our school website and school app to find out how much we have raised at Oakwood.
