Tabloid Sports
The tabloid sports were held on the 10th and the 11th March. They were great fun, there were house points up for grabs and everyone got in on the action. Every teacher ran a different activity like ball games, running games, strategy games. We finished with a tug of war overall, girls v boys and staff v pupils. The girls won most events that day!!
It was a great 2 day event and helped us all get back into the swing of school after the Christchurch earthquake.

Run Bike Run
This year Oaklands School is having another duathlon. The first time it was scheduled for was the 24 February, but it was postponed because of the Christchurch earthquake.
This time we will have another go, however the weather forecast is not looking good because the long term weather forecast is not so good.
We can do the run, bike, run (duathlon) in teams of 2 or 3, or as an individual. The Year 5/6 have to run 1 kilometre, bike 2.5 kilometres, and run 600 metres. The Year 7/8 have to run 1 kilometre, bike 5 kilometres, and run 600 metres. See above for a map. We are training by running laps around the field every day. Everyone is excited about it, and hoping to make it to the next stage!

Back to School Today, 10 March
Hello everyone.
Oaklands Students have returned to school today following the Christchurch Earthquake that occurred on Tuesday 22 February.
Casey said, "It was fun to come back to school because I wasn't doing that much at home."
Jennifer said, "It was great to be able to see my friends because I was starting to get bored at home."
Paris said, " It is good to get back to normal and see my friends again."
Mrs Patten said, "I have really enjoyed seeing our students again and hearing the wonderful stories of how they have helped others who were in need following the earthquake. We have some great Community minded students at Oaklands School."
Students have been working with their classes this morning trying to get back into a normal routine. We all attended a short welcome back assembly as well. This afternoon all classes are taking part in a school tabloids event organised by our teachers. We are all looking forward to having some fun and fitness out in the playground.
