Christmas Time

A very brief note to thank all parents for getting so involved in the life of our schools over this festive period. With an outstanding Christmas Wonderland organised by Temple Hill FOTHS (PTA), ice-skating for every child on the day too, as well as a great Christmas dinner, Temple Hill children and families have enjoyed lots of festive activities.
At Oakfield too, there have been lots of exciting things - such as the discos, ice-skating at Bluewater and Christmas Craft - in the afternoon and evening.  I hope all Oakfield families have enjoyed themselves!
I heard on the news a few days ago, I think it was, that one headteacher had decided to cancel the school play, as Ofsted was coming...  What a shame for the children and families of that school..  I firmly believe that learning to read, write and add up and take away are incredibly important skills - however, the joy of watching your child in a school play at Christmas - and the pride shown by each child as they sing their heart out will never be second place to an Ofsted inspection at Oakfield or Temple Hill.
