Oakwood's PosterShop

Great News!

We can now turn your digital pictures or other documents into


Giant A1 Sized Posters

using our new Poster Maker!



Why not print out a giant family portrait for display or as a gift?

If you have a special birthday or anniversary coming up, create a montage of photos and we can print a poster for you. If you want to supply details with your photos, we can even design the poster for you.

You can bring in your photos or documents on CD, memory stick or camera card and we will do the rest. You can even email your photos to postershop@oakwoodlive.net and send in payment with your child.

A1 posters cost only £5!

(These can cost anything up to £25 at a High Street Print Shop!)

For an A2 poster, it's £4.

For very special pictures, we can print onto high quality canvas, which you can attach to an artist's frame for an extra special gift. Please ask about prices for this service.

Oscar at Movie World...

Hello all,

As I've been working so hard in school here over the past few weeks, my hosts decided they would treat me to a day out at Warner Brothers Movie World on The Gold Coast. I had such a fun day!

I was allowed to walk around the film sets and pretend I was a film star whilst I had several photos taken, and of course there are some big rides there too. I was a bit scared about going on some of them, my hosts are braver than me! We met some real Movie stars like Batman and Scooby Doo!!



Well, as you may know, I'm about to return to Oakwood very soon. I have a couple more weeks here with a special trip planned for next week which I will let you know all about soon. In the meantime, I've started packing my bags.

I've had a great time living "Down Under". It's been a wonderful experience of a new country and different culture. There's no place like home though!! See you all soon!

The Aussie SATs!

Hello Folks!

How are you all doing?

I'm sorry I haven't been in touch for a while.....I have been soooooo busy!!

How did you all go with your SATS a few weeks ago? I thought I'd be able to escape them whilst I'm here in Brisbane, but no such luck, they have them here too! They are called NAPLAN here: National Assessment Program in Literacy and Numeracy, and they have to do them in years 3, 5, 7 and 9!

Last month I went on a school camp...it was awesome!

Unfortunately the photos the teachers took of me have gone astray so you can't see what I got up to, but I can tell you I had great fun. We stayed up really late both nights and during the day we did high rope climbing, abseiling, raft building and canoeing! On the last night we had a disco and a trivia quiz. I had such fun.

I hope you are all being good at Oakwood....and that the sun is warming up as you are going into summer. It's autumn here now, but it's really nice weather. I'm still in my shorts and t-shirt at school!

Bye for now
