Year 1
In Year 1 this week we have been practising making our sentences better by adding juicy describing words! How could you improve this sentence? The_______dog ate the ________ bone. We have also been showing our teachers and Mrs Alder just how whizzy we are in maths. And we are VERY whizzy! We are going to be learning about fractions, time, finding the difference and more than. On Monday Sally Russell from Chertsey Museum will be visiting all the Year 1 classes to tell them about seaside holidays in the past. She will be bringing in artefacts and dressing some of the children in old knitted swimming costumes! Thank you for sending in photos of yourselves at the seaside - we enjoyed comparing them to our own experiences! HOMEWORK CHALLENGE: The last day of term is the Coin Race so please check your pockets and look down the back of the sofa for pennies as the inter-class rivalry is intense!
Year 2
What a very busy week in Year Two! The children have worked so hard and produced some lovely work. This week we have been researching a special animal. The information that the children have found out will be used next week in their written work. Perhaps they can tell you about their animal and find out some more at home (see homework task below). Please check that your child's clothes are clearly named as it is very easy for them to become lost on a hot day when everyone takes their jumpers off. We are very short of helpers in Year Two. Please see your child's teacher if you are able to help. Thank you for your support. The Year Two Team Homework Challenge Can you continue the research about your special animal. Write as many White Hat facts as you can.

Dropping off and Picking up!
Dear Parents, My name is PCSO Adam Coombs and with my colleague PCSO Sultan Khan we are the local neighbourhood officers. We have been following local residents and parents concerns about parking outside the Hermitage and Oaktree schools. You may have seen one of us recently carrying out a patrol. Some of the areas of concern are around parking on junctions in particular the cross roads at Sutton Avenue and Gorse-wood Road. This makes it very dangerous for cars coming out of these roads and of course very dangerous for anyone using the surrounding footpaths. I must also remind parents that it is against the law to park on double yellow lines and zig zag lines along with parking within 10 metres of a junction. Failure to comply with these directions may lead to a prosecution or fixed penalty notice for obstruction or causing a danger to pedestrians and other road users. I know having spoken to several parents that you are very concerned for the safety of the children and that is why we are looking at the current issues around parking. Parking is very limited around the school and we are aware that roads such as Birdswood Drive, Hermitage Woods Crescent and Sutton Avenue do get used for dropping off and picking up. All I would say is please consider the people who live there and try and stay for as little time as possible to allow for other parents to use the spaces. If you would like to discuss the parking issues any further then please contact a member of the safer neighbourhood team on 0845 125 2222 Extn:39944 or email us on mailto:w_safer_wokim@surrey.pnn.police.uk Kind Regards, Knaphill and Brookwood Safer Neighbourhood team |

The Oaktree School
5-a-side Football Tournament Saturday 6th June 2009 2.00 pm—5.00 pm Once again a whole year has flown by and our annual Parents 5-a-side Football Tournament is upon us. You have now received Application Forms, Sponsor Forms and programmes for the event. The children are always so ex : *ea about the grown ups playing football matches and it is always a lovely family occasion. This event is organised by the school Publicity and Promotions Group. This group of governors, school staff and parents work hard promoting the school to the community. They also like to organise fun events in which parents and children can come to school and enjoy the facilities. If anyone can help with the BBQ for a 30 minute time period on either the BBQ or the other food items there is a slip at the bottom of this Newsletter to let us know. We could also ao with some general supervision help on the children's activities please let Mrs Alder know if you can help. Thanks We need someone who would take a video on the day, some action shots of each team during the matches, the final game and the medal/cup presentation at the end. You do not have to be a professional just an enthusiastic amateur. Please can you let the office know if you can do this. This is a family event and we will be having a BBQ, drinks and ices. Last year the team of volunteers did a gal lant job on the BBQ, helping with drinks and ices. We have booked a bouncy castle and slide and will have a number of fun activities for the children. To cover the costs of these activities the children will need to purchase an 'ACTIVITY PASS' for £2 each. This will enable the child to take part in all of the activities, as many times as they like, during the afternoon, without any money passing hands. If you would like to purchase a child's pass please complete the form below. Please purchase your pass now tc enable us to ensure that there will be sufficient activities to ensure all of the children have fun. We are hoping everyone will come along and bring their friends. Last year was a really great afternoon.
