Christmas Pantomime 2013

Christmas Pantomime 2013

Posted by Unknown

We are excited to announce that on Thursday 28^th November 2013 Pyramid Players are bringing their production of Aladdin to Oakwood.

There will be two performances of the pantomime at 4:30pm and at 6:00pm.  Both performances will have the same content and be suitable for children between 3 and 12.  Each performance will last approximately one hour with no interval.  Tickets are priced at £7.50 for adults, £6.50 for children.

FOO will be serving a snack tea of sausages in buns, ice cream and a drink in the dining hall from 3.30pm.  The cost of tea is £3 per person and must be booked with your panto tickets.

The event is a parent supervised, FOO event so you will need to collect your child(ren) from their class or club on the day and supervise them in the dining room, in the Lyne Hall and in between.  We have tried to arrange meal and performance times to suit all age groups and pick up times and hope that everyone will be able to join in and enjoy this festive event.  If you intend to send your child with someone else then please give their name when purchasing tickets.  Please note that there needs to be one adult for every six children.

If your child is singing at the Cross in Chichester on the same night then you will need to book for the earlier performance.  At the end of the first panto performance, we will ask the choristers to leave first so that they can make their way to Chichester in good time to sing.

Should you have any questions about what being on the Committee involves, please contact Jenny Howlett (FOO Chair) at jennyhowlett@me.com. In order to help the new Committee, we have put together a very short survey to gather opinions and ideas for the year ahead. We would be very grateful if you could take just a few minutes to complete the online survey.  Please find the link for the survey below.  http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/2HSPB69 Kind regards, The FOO Committee

Friends of Oakwood – What is FOO and what does a Class rep do?

Friends of Oakwood – What is FOO and what does a Class rep do?

Posted by Unknown

The Friends of Oakwood School group or FOO is made up of parents who organize various fun activities for the children and parents throughout the year and provide a link between class parents and school about general areas of concern and suggestions for improvement.  

The FOO was formed:

• To foster friendship between the parents, staff, pupils and all those who come into contact with the school
• To promote and support the School
• To enhance the standards of the School's buildings, grounds and equipment through fundraising activities
• To organise fun events that can be enjoyed by pupils, parents and staff

Monthly informal meetings are held in the Library after Friday Assembly (usually the first Friday of each month).  The dates for these meeting can be found in the school calendar, on the School website and on the School noticeboard.  One FOO meeting a term is held in the evening to include those who are not able to attend during the day for work reasons.

Each class has a representative, or sometimes two people who decide to share responsibilities such as:

• Welcoming new pupils and parents
• Attending meetings with school management (once a term)
• Disseminating information from the school that is class specific
• Organising parent social events
• Attending monthly FOO meetings and promoting FOO events to class parents
• Organising end of term/year teacher gifts etc.

These reps work on a voluntary basis, usually for a year and it can be a great way for new parents to get to know other parents, pupils and staff members.

Should you be interested in becoming a class rep for your class In September 2013, please contact your current FOO representative below:
