On Thursday, local PCSO Jacob Curran visited the school to remind everyone of what they can do to prevent bike theft and help recovery.
1. Keep your bike locked and inside when possible.
2. Record the serial number located on the bike near the pedals.
3. Register your bike with immobilise.com
4. Take a photo of your bike, clearly showing anything that makes it stand out.
Today Year 5 went to The Boat Show to take a look at the different boats. The Boat Show is part of Southampton's culture but also links in nicely with our current Titanic topic, allowing us to look at different types of boats and how they have changed.
We were very lucky with the weather, with clear blue skies and sunshine! Some of the day's activities were: a look around a pirate ship, a tall ship, a police boat and a Sunseeker cruiser. We also learnt about safety at sea with RNLI and looked at modern life rafts. This year there was also an Aquarium with a 'The Science of Coral Fluorescence' exhibition for us to look around. We also managed to get afloat on a canoe ride.
What an action packed fun day!
No criminal within the grounds of Oakwood School was safe on Monday 21st October, as our very own Junior PCSOs were out on patrol. After being issued with radios, and being instructed on how to use them correctly, they were sent out to find suspects known to be lurking in our school grounds.
Markers revealing the names of fictitious criminals were placed at various points. All criminals were successfully located, and after radioing in for further details, our officers celebrated the identification of two shoplifters and even a stolen car. Does anyone recognise the registration - N5 JAP?
The Junior PCSO (Police Community Support Officer) scheme in Year Six has began in earnest. First of all we learnt the rules of PNB (Pocket note book).In these books there should be no ELBOWS-No Erasers, No Lines Crossed out, No Blank Spaces, No Over Writing and No Writing Between Lines.
We then learned to parade:
Ellie and Sam say:
We made this video beacause the Travel Committee wants everyone to learn the Green Cross Code. If you learn your Green Cross Code off by heart, you win a special Strider Badge!
We have put a link to the Green Cross Code here so that you can print it out and learn it whenever you want!
We had a special treat at Oakwood today. 'Theatre in Education' visited to give us an entertaining show all about road safety.
Despite lots of laughs and songs, we learned some serious messages about keeping ourselves safe on the roads and in cars.
We learned to "Clunk Click" when riding in a car. This means clunk the door shut, and click your seatbelt in.
We also learned to 'Stop, Look, Listen, Think' and also how to cross the road safely when there are lots of parked cars.
Our two local PSCOs also attended, so will be keeping an eye out to make sure children are obeying the rules of the road when out playing.
Thank you to Theatre in Education for this fantastic show!
It's all smiles at our Pupil of the Week Assembly!
We celebrate pupils from every class who have worked hard, behaved well, set an example, achieved targets or done something extra special. We always have important guests who present certificates and congratulate our pupils.
Today, PCSOs French and Plummer, who are good friends of the school, were our special visitors.
We see them quite often around the school and in the playground. They give us advice about keeping safe and being a helpful member of the community.
At this assembly, we also presented certificates to Farmers of the Week and Explorers of the Week who earned their special awards in Year 5's activities week. Well done to everyone!
