Women’s Refuge

We had some special visitors in school today from the Women’s Refuge.  We invited them to come and collect loads of books bought from the money we raised from World Book Day.  We asked some of our children to choose the books and to present them  to the ladies from the refuge.  They were really excited and took the books to give to the children who would love to read them at their centre.

Thank you to all of our parents who entered the great ‘Oakley Bake Off’. We had some stunning efforts which Mary and Paul would have been proud of. After much deliberation, our star bakers are: Fynley & Freya’s mum, James’ gran, Chloe’s nana and Jak and Siena’s mum.

Toilet twinning

As every child has the right to be safe and to have access to a clean and hygienic place to live, we decided to help raise money for the charity ‘Toilet Twinning’.  Thank you very much for supporting this fundraiser, we made a fantastic £125.00, enough to buy two toilets for children and families who don’t yet have clean and hygienic facilities. Thank you to Miss Turnbull for organising this event and for thinking up the grand idea of mummifying teachers.  There were some fantastic efforts from our children.  Check Facebook page for more pictures of the mummies!

European Day of Languages

We celebrated ‘European Day of Languages’ in school today as part of our Rights Respecting work because all the children have a right to a good quality education which teaches them to respect other cultures and languages(article 29). Each class focused on a different European country and spent the day learning more about the language and culture of that country.  Some classes cooked or tasted food and a dance teacher worked with classes to learn traditional dances.  We learnt so much and had a lot of fun too!
