Dear Fair Oak Family,

Happy Wednesday. I hope that the week is going well and that you are managing to enjoy the weather. Huge thank you for your comments about our Home Learning offer. Please remember to encourage your child to post their learning on the Purple Mash blog.

Thanks also to those who have recorded videos for Miss Coxhead. Miss Coxhead will aim to reply to the emails by this Friday to inform parents on whether the videos will be included or not. If you need reminding about this, please see below.

Have a good week.

Mr De Silva

Message from Mrs Coxhead:

I hope you’re all well and managing to spend some quality family time together! We have an exciting opportunity for you to get involved in, to show our community spirit and appreciation for those around us!

We would like to create a short video of us showing our support for one another and also having a bit of fun! We aim to create a video of us ‘The Fair Oak family’ lip syncing and dancing to (We could be) – Heroes by Alesso.  Here is the link of the song so you can get practising… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVEo74CwiG4 … Please get creative! Feel free to dress up, grab a hair brush and show off your great moves. Be original!

Now, you do not need to record yourself doing the whole song. We only want small snippets to ensure that as many children as possible can be on the video. We have split the song up into sections so please check which section your child’s surname is in and get recording! PLEASE ONLY DO ONE SECTION PER FAMILY EVEN IF THEY HAVE DIFFERENT SURNAMES.

Sections (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVEo74CwiG4)

Section 1) 0-37 seconds – Surnames beginning A - B

Section 2) 37 seconds – 1:09 – Surnames beginning C - E

Section 3) 1:09 – 1:25 – Surnames beginning F - H

Section 4) 1:25 – 1:53 - Surnames beginning I - M

Section 5) 1:53 – 2:25 - Surnames beginning N – R

Section 6) 2:25 – 2:55 – Surnames beginning S - T

Section 7) 2:55 – 3:31 - Surnames beginning U - Z

Please note not all section have lyrics, so please show me your best dance moves!

Once you have finished your clip, please email it to fojuniorschool@gmail.com Please ensure that the subject of the email is called the section of the song that you have recorded e.g. Section 1. This helps me with piecing it all together!

A few rules

• Only children from Fair Oak Junior School are to be in the clip (although pets are welcomeJ).
• Only one clip per family – Siblings at FOJS to be in the same video (even if they are different surnames).
• By sending the video to our Gmail address (above) you’re consenting to your child being on our YouTube channel and other social media forums that we use. If you do not want your child’s face in the video, another option is to maybe incorporate a mask into your costume.
• We are also hoping to send the video to local care homes/ Key worker organisations to show our support. If you do not want your child’s clip being sent to these places please do not submit a clip.
• Your clip will be muted so do not worry about background noise or sound, as this is a lip synching video.
• All clips need to have been sent to fojuniorschool@gmail.com by Friday 24^th April. This email address is to be used only for submitting clips.

As you can imagine this is not a small task! Please avoid contacting the office or the email address above with questions, as the aim of this video is to showcase our community spirit and to have fun. Whilst we endeavour to use all clips submitted, please note that this may not be possible if we receive too many videos. Please check your video before submitting, as we cannot use videos with technical issues.

Have Fun!

Miss Coxhead.
