Rothschild House will be leading our fundraising efforts on Friday 19th March. This year's theme is superheros.
Our children are welcome to wear something red or a superhero costume for a £1.00 donation. Official Red Noses are available to buy via your ParentPay account and a cake sale will take place in the afternoon with any left overs on sale on the grass verge after school - please observe safe social distancing rules.
Thanking you in advance for your generous support.
Miss Schonert led a whole school cookery class this morning with the children creating a delicious selection of pizzas.
We all had lots of fun creating faces with the variety of toppings.
Today Ixhill Farm invited us into their lambing shed via MS Teams. Our children experienced the busy farm at work. They saw many ewes with their newborn lambs and during the afternoon session witnessed a birth.
We are so grateful to the Cox family for sharing this special day.
Today Miss Schonert led the final whole school art session by putting the finishing touches to our paintings. We look forward to displaying all the masterpieces after the half term break.
This was such an enjoyable project and huge thanks must go to all our staff and especially Gabi Schonert for her expertise and encouragement in convincing us that every one of us can all draw and paint.
Tremendous thanks must go to our incredible FOS team for organising the Sponsor a Book initiative.
We had donations from parents, grandparents, members of the community and local businesses and a grand total of £1025.00 was raised.
A wonderful selection of books have been received by the school with many aimed at assisting dyslexic students. Each book bought will have a special book plate on the inside front cover as a lasting thank you to our supporters.
Bernie the Bus visited Oakley School to collect the huge donation of non-perishable food items and toys from our families.
These will be distributed amongst less fortunate families in our community by the Aylesbury Vineyard Storehouse.
Thank you as always for your most generous support.
Yet again we held a very successful Children In Need fundraiser organised by Blenheim House members. Our yellow/spotty mufti, yellow tombola, cake sale and sale of official CIN merchandise all proved very popular.
Thank you to all our parents for their tremendous support.
The event raised £253.38 for the charity.
Social distancing rules didn't stop us marking this very special day. Chiltern House led the commemorations held on the playground.
This year each child painted a pebble which they placed round a beautiful wreath made from photos of their hands holding a painted poppy.
A few minutes before 11.00am poems were read then we observed 2 minute's silence to remember the sacrifice made by so many to give us peace.
Though online donations we raised £103.00 for the Royal British Legion.
