Oakfield Oscars

Crowds turned out in their droves to our 'blue carpeted' (red was all sold out!) event last week. We held our annual Oakfield Oscars to celebrate the effort and achievements of children throughout the school.
Well done to all the nominees and all the winners. The paparazzi have sent us these photographs to remember the event.

Where Past meets Present!

A group children from Oakfield made the short trip to Craigielea Care Home in Low Fell today armed with their favourite toys. Whilst there, they met some residents from the home who reminisced about and showed the toys they used to play with as children, whilst our children showed the residents how to use their toys. As you can imagine, the gap in technology between the types of toys was immense. The residents used to entertain themselves with the cup and ball, tiddly winks and spinning top as opposed to PSP, Nintendo DS and I Pod Touch. Both the children and the residents had a fantastic afternoon and learnt so much about each other's toys and life. Look out for the story appearing in the Evening Chronicle over the next couple of weeks.

5 Maple Get Ahead by Recycling!

Along with the rest of the school today, 5 Maple constructed a face using only recyclable materials. The children brought in plastic, cardboard, newspaper and tins from home and the challenge was to use these to contstruct the face. We all worked together as a team in the baking heat and it soon became clear that the children were really enjoying themselves and rising to the challenge. The end result was fantastic. After we'd finished we deconstructed the face and packed up all of the rubbish into seperate bags to be taken away for recycling. Well done everyone!
