Dear Fair Oak Family,
Curriculum Evenings
Due to the current restrictions in place, we are unable to hold our curriculum evenings in the normal face to face way. This year, each year leader has created a PowerPoint presentation, detailing further information related to your child's learning which will be uploaded to the website on Friday. This can be found under the year group tab. Please take a look and find out about the year ahead!
Year 3
Thank you to everyone who has let us know that there have been Spelling Shed problems. The children all have their list to learn for the test on Monday and we will sort the technical glitch as soon as possible to that the children can access the games. Thank you for your patience.
As a school, we are taking part in the following Hampshire County initiatives, promoting walking to school:
Walktober, run annually since 2016, is a challenge held each October to celebrate and focus the mind on International Walk to School Month.
The pandemic, and subsequent lockdown, has taught us all that exercising and spending time outside enjoying your surroundings is great, if not essential, for your wellbeing. That is why the Walktober challenge is structured around Hampshire and the NHS’s Five Steps to mental wellbeing.
Walktober means encouraging your school communities (pupils, staff and their families) to walk as much as possible during the month. Unusually this year -during October, as well as Walktober, we will also be promoting Walk to School Week (5-9 October) and Clean Air Day (8 October), both delayed due to Covid 19.
Please can we also remind parents to park considerately in neighbouring estates, not to park on zigzag lines outside the schools and to please use the local Park and Stride sites, such as The Lapstone and The Clock Inn and allotments in Knowle park.
PSA
Our amazing PSA will be holding their AGM meeting on Thursday 15th October at 6.30pm in the school hall. Please take the time to have a look at the attached flyer for more information. The PSA are always keen to welcome new faces, so please come along to find out more.
