Children's Mental Health Week (1st - 7th February), by Miss Jones

Date: 31st Jan 2021 @ 7:33pm

From 1-7 February 2021 schools, youth groups, organisations and individuals across the UK will take part in Children’s Mental Health Week. This year’s theme is Express Yourself.

Expressing yourself is about finding ways to share feelings, thoughts, or ideas, through creativity. This could be through art, music, writing and poetry, dance and drama, photography and film, and doing activities that make you feel good.

It’s important to remember that being able to express yourself is not about being the best at something or putting on a performance for others. It is about finding a way to show who you are, and how you see the world, that can help you feel good about yourself.

For Children's Mental Health Week 2021 children (and adults) are encouraged to explore the different ways we can express ourselves, and the creative ways that we can share our feelings, our thoughts and our ideas.

 

Here are some activities that everyone can enjoy this week and beyond.

Remembrance Day, by Miss Jones

Not long ago, windows in many houses in our community featured beautiful, colourful rainbow displays. With Remembrance Day not long away, you may wish to decorate a poppy to display in your window for people to enjoy. 

Here is a link from the Poppy Appeal Website where you can download a free poster to print and colour in/decorate.

If you do not have a printer, why not draw and decorate your own poppy for your window?

Netball Vs Eaton, by Miss Jones

Date: 10th Mar 2020 @ 4:58pm

Well done to the Year 6 children who played their first netball league match after school against Eaton.

The children worked so well together, both in attack and in defence. What a close game it was! 

Final score: 13 - 14 to Eaton. 

Well done to Lindsay (Goal Attack) for being chosen as Player of the Match for her super shooting!

Thank you to all the parents who stayed to watch and cheer the children on. 

Sadly, St Oswalds were unable to attend today so our match against them will be rearranged for a future date.

Adrift performance Tuesday 29th January 6.30 pm , by Mrs Bailey

Date: 25th Jan 2019 @ 6:54pm

We look forward to seeing as many families as possible to the Adrift performance this Tuesday evening in school. The performance is pitched at Key Stage 2 children and will take place in the school hall. Families and children are welcome.


Oldfield Primary School, Action Transport Theatre and the Ignite Teaching School Alliance would like to invite you to our community showing of Adrift:

Two children are in a boat. One is rowing. One is fishing. They dream about a land, a beautiful land that’s waiting for them. A safe land. Adrift is a poignant and important play from acclaimed children’s theatre company Action Transport Theatre. Told from the perspective of two children adrift at sea fleeing conflict, it is a celebration of the resilience and imagination of childhood.

Time - 6.30pm on Tuesday 29th January 2019 at Oldfield Primary School.

Doors open at 6.10pm, refreshments available both before and after.

Please join us after the show for a discussion about the play and how we can develop our curriculum to support our children in their learning.

Please RSVP to head@oldfield.cheshire.sch.uk , admin@oldfield.cheshire.sch.uk or call 01244 981772 by Tuesday 22nd January
