Pet Day 2016

Pet Day

On Friday 25 November we had our Oaklands School Pet Day. This was a day for students to bring their pets along to school to show them off to their friends and peers. It was also a day to raise awareness for animal protection and raise money for the SPCA. 
 
Amelia, Tyler & Jacob proudly showed off their much loved additions to Oaklands School for the morning.

Some of the money we raised will also go to the people of Kaikoura who are recovering from the devastating earthquake recently. The students had a great time patting and getting to know the different pets. Those students who bought along pets were very proud to show off their much loved members of the family. Even the teachers proudly showed off their much loved pets. Mrs Baker bought along Pepper, Miss O'Connor bought along Polly and Mrs Trotter bought along her beautiful German Shepherd.

 

Hazel also proudly showed off her much loved addition to Oaklands School for the morning.

Literacy Week 2016

Literacy Week 2016 - ‘Lost In Space’ 
31 October – 4 November


Our Literacy Week for 2016 was launched at a whole school assembly where the teachers behind this week introduced the exciting things that lay in store for the week. We had the very popular hunt for the Golden Ticket and the space dash scavenger hunt around the school. The students also had the opportunity to do activities in the library at lunchtimes, including trying to guess who the teacher was reading the book.
