Welcome to the brand new Dashwood School

 

 

 

 

We aim to fill this page with  pictures of events, some of which we were unable to participate in fully at the old school

 

 

 

National Sports Week

26th June - 3rd July 2009

 

We began the week with an opening ceremony, every child made a sports pledge that they are going to try and achieve over the next few weeks and months, and we had opportunities to play rounders, basketball, handball, football and to try aerobics. Our sports days on Wed and Thurs were great fun. Everyone in FSU receieved a medal, Blue house were the overall winners of KS1's sports day and The American team won the KS2 event.

 
On Friday, each year group received half an hours football coaching from Premier Soccer. These are some photos of Year 1 trying out some new skills.

 

 

     

 

    

 

 Yr 3 and 4 competed at the partnership athletics meeting at North Oxon Academy.  They all did really well and enjoyed running on a proper athletics track.

 

 

 

     

 

 

  

 

 

     

 

Yr 1 and 2 had a rounders tournament, we all had fun and had a chance to put the skills we've been practising this term into action.

World Book Day

 

Everybody enjoyed dressing up as their favourite book characters, and each class took part in a parade to show off their costumes, for World Book Day on the 5th March 2009. Can you spot Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, Dennis the Menace and Minnie the Minx, Black Beauty, Harry Potter or any of your favourite characters? You might also see Year 1 enjoying their time in the reading tent that Miss Armitage made for us all to share.

Time capsule update

 

We sealed the time capsule into the wall of the new school during half term.

Items in the capsule are designed to tell people in 50 years what life at Dashwood was like in 2008 - particularly in our last days at the old school building.

There is a photo of all the children who were at school in Spring 2008, photos of special events and the school day, and pieces of work by the children about their playground games, hand and shoe sizes, inventions of the future, favourite foods and aspirations for their careers.

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

Goodbye to Mrs Brookes

 

Mrs Brookes, our head teacher who retired in the summer 2008, came for a special farewell assembly in October. We gave her some presents including flowers, photographs, wine and a watch. She gave us a puppet for each class to use for telling stories and doing plays. It was lovely to see her again.

 

 

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dashwood Autumn Festival

 

We enjoyed the aroma of freshly-cooked harvest bread at the Dashwood School Autumn Festival last week.
 
The bread was kindly supplied by Tesco Banbury as the centrepiece to a festival in which each class presented a song, performance or dance to the gathered parents. The hall was packed for the event, our first Harvest Celebration at the new school building, and the donations of non-perishable goods are being given to the Banbury Young Homeless Project. After the festival, the children ate the bread which smelled delicious!
