Dear readers,

The children of Oakfield Junior School are setting up a healthy tuck shop. It will start on Monday 16th November. This includes fresh fruit, dried fruit, cereal bars including, Special K and Nutrigrain bars. These prices range from 20p-40p. Please support us.

Many thanks,

Snack Station Staff.

This week we started a new club in school! Children from year 3 and 4 were invited to join a local artist to try their hand at big knitting. We certainly did find this a challenge as most children haven't knitted with such huge needles before !! We are all looking forward to seeing the giant scarves that will be produced !!

ICT club are busy working on a documentary about Oakfield Juniors. They will be using the Digital Blue Movie Creators' hardware and software to produce a video. We should have it on our weblog by Christmas, fingers crossed!!

Over the last 6 weeks children from years 4, 5 and 6 have attended coaching sessions at school by members of Newcastle United Community Coaches. This concluded with an enjoyable trip to the home of Newcastle United.

ICT club have been having a great time over the last 2 weeks doing PHOTO MANIPULATION. In the first week they took pictures of eachother, then downloaded and saved them. Their photo was then opened in Photo Simple so they could crop their photo, cut, re-size, rotate, remove red eye and many other effects. They then completed their photos this week in club.

Please take a look at the different effects that they used and have a laugh!!!
