Charity Fundraising by Pupils of Oakwood.

We all know what AMAZING and thoughtful children we have at Oakwood and in the past couple of days we have received a couple of emails which illustrate just this.

Incredibly, just like Captain Tom Moore, two Oakwood pupils have gone that extra mile during lock down and have been doing some fundraising.

A very proud sister in 5FL let us know about her very special young brother, Callum in Year 1, who has just finished running a staggering 27 miles for charity-that is a whole marathon! Callum started on the 11th May and finished on the 31st May. He raised a stupendous £686 for Cancer research.  Unbelievably,  he is not stopping there but is going to carry on till the end of July when he hopes he will have run a whooping 100 miles. A-MAZ-ING Callum!



But that is not all. 

For another incredible pupil Lilia in Year 4 has also been fundraising for a very important cause. Dreamflight is a UK charity that changes the young lives of children with a serious illness or disability by taking them on the holiday of a lifetime to Florida. Lilia raised over £530 for the charity- which would pay for a whole day on Dreamflight. She did this by being incredibly selfless and getting sponsored for cutting lots of her hair off. Afterwards she donated her hair to the Little Princess Trust who make wigs for children who, for different reasons, have lost their hair. Dreamflight were incredibly impressed and emailed the school to let us know.

Well done! 

Oakwood is very proud of you.
