Our Coreword for August was ‘ready’!
This one works best as a sign – please watch our video to find out how to sign ‘ready’ with your child – using SignAlong or onbody signing.
… from Annie & Nicky in Speech and Language Therapy – with help from our models Chloe and Leon!
We would like to share the plan for our year of Corewords at Oaklands with everyone – parents, carers, staff, visitors – please take a look!
We have a simple version – showing you what the Corewords are for each month – and a more detailed version of our Corewords plan.
Please let us know if you have any ideas or comments!
It’s brilliant to have (almost all!) of our children and young people back to school today!
It’s great to be back together and everyone seems to be settling well in to their new classes.
Particular mention to our new P1 and S1 pupils. It’s a big day for them and their families and they can be very proud of their first day. 🙂
Here’s a few photos from today but as ever, there’s lots more over on our Twitter feed @Team_Oaklands
From all the staff and pupils at Oaklands, thank you all for your support of the school over the past year.
It’s a privilege to be Head Teacher of such a wonderful school.
Wishing you all a very happy holiday.

We’re a measly 8 followers away from 100!
It’d be a great achievement if we could get to 100 by the end of term.(And you’d make a weary old DHT very happy!)
What a wonderful day for all of Team Oaklands!
Our school community came together to celebrate our amazing children and young people today. There was even a very special Call and Response for our very own, Morna.
Does this level of pride ever diminish, I wonder?
As ever, lots more over at @Team_Oaklands. 🙂
We’re not quite “finished”!
This month’s functional core word across the school is “finished”. It’s a great way to end another fantastic year developing our inclusive communication approach here at Oaklands.
Parents – look out for your postcards, with symbols, signs and ideas for practising “finished” at home!
We are looking forward to seeing many of our families and friends of Oaklands at our Achievement Assembly on Wednesday 27th June at 10.00am.
This is when we get to celebrate all the wonderful things our fabulous children and young people have achieved this year.
Just an average day at Oaklands!!!!!
P.s. See @Team_Oaklands on Twitter for much more.
Fantastic morning with our Oaklands Drake music orchestra!
Lovely seeing our children and young people getting together to create something so special and we hope the parents of the pupils involved are enjoying the CD that was sent home!
