Dear families,
What a wonderful start to the term! The children have settled so quickly and the sun has shone every day! We have had very good attendance this week so thank you to every family for your support. I know how much the children like to be in school, so let's keep this up.
Just to let you know, we have begun assemblies and music in person again term. The assemblies take place, distanced, in the lower hall and is repeated 3 times so we can keep the groups small. Music teachers are back in school as well as we slowly and carefully open up after the lockdown.
It may be that we are in living with Covid but there is still a lot going on at the school. The 'Plants for Positivity Society' delivered their first plant of this half term to a local resident who lives on Erconwald Street. These plants were grown by our Community bubble (Years 1/2) during lockdown and decorated by Nour & Maram from Year 6! The lady sent this picture to say thank you to the school.

You may also remember the 'What does Happiness Mean to You' competition I wrote about before Easter. This was part of the Hammersmith and Fulham Arts Festival. We had several winners of this competition and you can see how well we did from the attachment.

Please also see the link below to the short film written, created and starring the Y5 group who worked on the Urbanwise London project. Their film discusses the important of bees in our society, their decline and the need to bring bees back to our urban areas.

The children of Old Oak continue to get involved in projects to make our community a better, cleaner and happier place to live in.
Have a good weekend.
Best wishes
Joe
