Oakwood Primary School

Watch out for the Key Steps gymnastics Competitions this term.

There will also be two more Cross Country Events in February. The points from these events are added to the runners placings in the events during the Autumn term.

We will also be taking a team to the NEW KS1 Panathlon event.

Last week, 4 of our pupils from Y3 and Y4 went with Mrs Godsell to the New Age Kurling event at Cleeve School. The children had a fantastic morning participating in many enjoyable games of Kurling against a number of other schools. This was a very new sport for our team and they did well to find themselves in the playoffs for 9th and 10th position.

We have got off to a flying start in PE this term. Classes 3 and 6 are taking part in some Dance sessions with Tanya Tominey. They have enjoyed their first sessions and are looking forward to seeing how their dances progress.

We have a Peripatetic Coach, Callum Smith, helping support the teaching of gymnastics in Classes 5, 8, 11, 12 and 14. He will be with usw for the entire Autumn Term and will be supporting some different classes and their teachers during November and December. He has also been running some active sessions on a Tuesday during breakfast club, is helping to prepare our Cross Country Runners at lunchtimes for the up coming Cross Country events and will be starting an after School Club too.

We have again invested some of our PE and School Sport Premium in a PE Assistant for 2 afternoons a week, for the entire year. His name is Sam Stokes, and he has been getting to know some of the classes this week. Say 'hi' to Mr Stokes if you see him around school on a Wednesday or Thursday.
