Talking to Tom!

Some of our pupils met Tom Daley, the Olympic Diver, earlier this year...

But, they actually didn't! It only looks like they did!

Southampton City Catering asked our children to come up with questions for Tom about his life, his sport and his training. They then came in and filmed the children asking the questions. Tom's busy schedule meant he answered the questions while away on training and then the two bits of film were cleverly joined together!

The questions about how Tom eats a healthy diet were particularly important considering how school lunches are a really good, healthy, balanced meal!

Watch the question below...



...and then head to the City Catering website to see the rest!

There are about 30 short videos altogether - half of them are Oakwood pupils. Everyone who asked a question got a signed photo of Tom - they were great ambassadors for the school!

Starting a new School...

Come on you lazy lot! When do you go back to school? Not until 4 September???

I know a lot of you will be starting a new school, and I have too! I said I thought I might stay in Australia for a while and I have - I've started at Glendore Public School. (It's winter here, so they are already at school - they don't get their summer holidays until Christmas!)

They are going to tell me all about what it's like to be in school in Australia and I promise to share it with you on the blog. I've already met Glenn, the school mascot...



...and he's shown me around. They've even given me a page on their website!

On Wednesday, I'm going to Canberra, which is the capital of Australia - so I'll let you know what it's like.

In the meantime, two of my rellies are coming to Oakwood to make sure you keep your classrooms tidy - watch out for them!
