Send my Friend to School Project 2013

We have made ideal teachers as part of the Send my Friend to School Project. We want to be part of the campaign to highlight the massive global teacher shortage of 1.7 million teachers which are needed in classrooms worldwide. 60 million children are missing out on education, sometimes because of the lack of teachers.

At Oakwood Junior School we support every child’s right to go to school to gain an education. We have posted our ideal teachers to our local MP, Dr Alan Whitehead for him to pass them on to the Prime Minister.

Oakwood's World Link Committee should be mentioned for the great job they have done promoting this project. Well done!

The photos show just a few of our fantastic ideal teachers.

Oakhouse (Friday)

Oakhouse week ended with a fun packed day! The day involved a music session with Mr Orton, an ex pupil at Oakwood Junior School. The children created their own music track using his professional music equipment, this included them mixing: bass, drum, guitar, keyboard and vocals on a launch pad. The children then named and recorded their group tracks: Catch the Flame, Rock Out, Electro Beat and Power Jam.

Mr Orton, then finished the session with a demonstration of his tracks that he is using for his record label. The children also enjoyed playing board games and the afternoon ended with a relaxing DVD.



A great week has been had by all the children and staff during Oakhouse week. We are all looking forward to the return of the Knapp House children and sharing the fun we have had!

Oakhouse enjoyed a morning at Oasis Academy. This involved an active session in the gym, followed by a mini football tournament. The children all had great fun and returned to school hungry and exhausted.

Oakhouse (Wednesday)

In the morning, in preparation for our Oakhouse afternoon picnic, we made wraps and fairy cakes. As well as this, we enjoyed some fun drama activities: Guess the Celebrity; 1,2,3; Sheet Game; The Feather Game and Who Moved?

In the afternoon, we had a "friendly" rounders match: Miss Kilburn's and Miss Patchett's team. To the delight of Miss Kilburn, her team won eight and a half to four and a half rounders. The afternoon ended with a delicious picnic.
