Oakwood Primary School Sandpiper Road SOUTHAMPTON SO16 8FD Issue 6 22 July 2015 Dear Parents This time last year, I wrote that we’d started as infant and junior schools and finished as a new Primary School. We’ve now completed a full year as Oakwood Primary School, and I can’t believe where the time has gone! And look what we have achieved… Another round of great academic results, more sporting success, our recognition as both a UNICEF Rights Respecting School and Gold Investor in People, further progress towards Eco-Schools and Travel Plan awards, our lead work as a Stonewall Training Partner and… finally, our Linkway completed so that we are physically one building. Today, we are saying goodbye to Ilona Smith, who has been teaching in Year R this year. Miss Smith is moving on to work as a teacher at an education centre in the local area. We wish her the very best of luck! Tom Ackland also has a busy summer - he is getting married! - and in the first few days of next term, Gemma Fawcitt will start her maternity leave. I know you will join us in wishing them both all the best. Thank you for all your support this year! We value your part in Achieving Excellence Together. Have a very good summer break. Ian Taylor Headteacher Article 31 Every child has the right to relax, play and take part in a wide range of cultural and artistic activities.. Goodbye Year 6! We’ve had a fantastic, if somewhat emotional, few days, celebrating Year 6’s time at Oakwood and saying a fond farewell as they move on to their new schools. We are so proud of all they have achieved and hope that a few may pop back to visit us in the future to update us with their ongoing successes! News from the Team! Beat that queue! Just a reminder that you don’t have to queue if you just need to drop off letters / slips / dinner money etc. Please use the secure locked blue box on the wall just inside reception which is emptied regularly during the day. Contacts Please remember to inform the office at any time should any of your details change. It is important that we have the correct information in case we need to contact you in case of an emergency during the day. Thank you. PE Kit As we move into the new academic year, please remember that children should have their PE kit in school at all times. Although each class has set PE days, sometimes these might change at short notice and we advise that PE kit should come into school on a Monday and only go home at the weekend. If your child does not have their PE kit when needed, we might give you a quick ring to let you know and to see if you are able to bring it in in time for their lesson. PE kit should be a plain white tshirt, black shorts and trainers. When the weather is cold, we recommend a plain, dark tracksuit. Bikes If your child wishes to bring a bike / scooter to school and use our cycle shelter, please come to the office to collect and complete a permit form. The bike / scooter will need to be locked and children will need to wear a helmet, which they can bring into school and leave on their peg. Also just a reminder to encourage your children to dismount their bike / scooter whilst on site, particularly in the playground. Thank you. Pharmacy First Starting in the new school year, the majority of pharmacies in Southampton will be providing a new minor ailments service, called ‘Pharmacy First’. The aim is for patients to be able to receive advice and support for minor health issues from the local pharmacist, rather than waiting for a doctor’s appointment or visiting the walk in centre. Look out for a leaflet that will be coming your way in September. Achievements We have very much enjoyed seeing so many children for a wide range of achievements this year - from Gold Book to Spellings, from Handwriting to Times Tables. It’s a real pleasure to see your children’s love of learning and the pride they take in their hard work. We would like to wish everyone a relaxing and enjoyable summer, and look forward to seeing you all again in September! From Liz, Karen, Claire and Carol Another packed half term!

Many thanks for all your support over the last school year. We ended the year with the Summer Fete which raised a record amount of £2378! The year has also seen events such as the Christmas Fair, book sales, discos, Quiz Night, shopping afternoon, Secret Room and non-uniform days! We also introduced parent coffee mornings which have proved very successful. As a result of some of these activities, we were able to present a cheque to the school in January for £7000. This is an amazing sum of money which would not have been possible without your help and support at these events. We have already started planning for the autumn term with the Christmas Fair on Monday 30 November. Discos and the Secret Room day are all being organised and will appear on the school calendar. We will look forward to seeing you at some of these! If you are having a sort out over the holidays, we would be pleased to receive any donations of good condition cuddly toys, children’s books, games etc as well as small items that would be suitable for lucky dips. New or unused toiletries are also welcome. Please take any items to the office in September. Thank you. Gill Handley-Garland News from the House Captains Ventura - Britannia - Azura - Adonia We can’t believe how fast our time at Oakwood has gone and that we are writing our final piece for the newsletter. This term, we have lots to celebrate – Adonia won the Sports Day cup; Ventura won the Attendance Cup and Inter-House Sports Cup; Azura won the House Points Cup – we have been proud to accept these awards on behalf of our Houses. We have had a packed few final days in Year 6 – starting with our Production which we all thoroughly enjoyed. We had an emotional farewell at our Leaver’s Service and we would like to thank Year R for our candle holders – we think we might be keeping hold of these for a long time! Finally, we look forward to our Prom tonight and we all agree that we have had the best seven years during our time at Oakwood. We really have enjoyed “Achieving Excellence Together”!

School Calendar 2015 - 2016 It seems that every half term this year has been jam-packed with Sports, but during the Summer 2 term there has been so much it has been difficult to know where to start! Perhaps we should start with our biggest sports event of the year, Sports Day! It was another year of sunshine, sports and smiles. KS2 started the day with their roundabout of activities before the house relay races and Year group sprint champion races took place. Amazingly, new records were set in six of the eight KS2 sprint races. After a quick break for a picnic with families, KS1 children took on their own roundabout of activities before the KS1 Sprint Champion races finished off the afternoon in style. Well done to winners on the day, Adonia. But will they be able to earn back to back wins with victory next year?

We have already ordered our equipment and the first boxes arrived at the start of the week. Yr R are already busy using their new play equipment, whilst Mrs Browne and the rest of KS1 are waiting excitedly for the new break/lunchtime scooters to be put together by Mr Barrett. We also expect a delivery of tennis, rugby, football, cricket and rounders balls as well as a whole range of other equipment before the end of the school term. Inter-House Sports Cup As well as taking part in sports day, children from each KS2 year group have been representing their houses in the Inter-house sports cup which we launched last year; Britannia are the current holders. There have been 8 rounds, 2 for each year group, throughout the year. Children have competed in a whole range of competitions; Hockey, Football, Tag rugby, Benchball, Rounders, Cricket, Netball and Inter House Benchball. A massive well done to this year’s winning house, VENTURA! Federation competitions As well as taking part in competitions in school, we have continued to participate in competitions with other schools. A team of Y5 children recently took part in a Federation rounders tournament and came home with winners’ medals following comprehensive victories over all other participating teams. Well done! A team of 24 children from Y2-6 also took part in the 3rd Lordshill and Redbridge Federation Sports Day hosted by Fairisle Junior School. And for the second time in three years, Team Oakwood were champions! KS1 Personal Best Day KS1 children have taken part in their final Personal Best Day of the 2014/15 year. Run by our resident Sports coaches, TMC (Testlands Multisports Coaches), our Personal Best days are to encourage all our children to take part in sporting activity and engage in competition. By only competing against themselves they are encouraged to improve at skills and set their own ‘Personal Best’ scores in a whole range of challenges. Each class only has an hour session to practice and set scores so it’s quite intense, but all the children love the wide range of challenges TMC set them. KS2 Club of the Month The KS2 Club of the Month sessions have been running for 3 years now and have been a great success, but our July Club of the Month, Romsey and Abbey Tennis Club, will be the last in its current format. During the last three years we have introduced 12 different local sports clubs to the children and taken part in at least another 12 special sporting activities and events. We will continue to inspire our children to take part in sport outside of school but we look forward to launching our new initiative in September. Sainsbury’s School Games Oakwood has taken part in a wide range of the Sainsbury’s school games events this year and has had some great success in competition. The games have also enabled a large number of children to take part in semi-competitive skills festivals in a number of sports. Most recently, we have competed in the Y3/4 Tennis competition held at the David Lloyd Tennis Centre. Twelve teams took part in the two mini leagues run on the day, Oakwood finishing 5th, which was a great achievement for the four Y4 children who went. The biggest School Games event also took place during the Summer 2 term, the City Athletics Championships. The team finished a marvellous 4th, in what was a very difficult year with children from Townhill and Bitterne dominating the podiums. Oakwood is very proud to announce that two of our children returned as City Champions, Marcus and Amy, who also returned with a new City Record Fantastic effort!
