Operation Montserrat

This just in from Parkhill, an account of their day using the Operation Montserrat resource. Well done to the children who made this film.



On Wednesday 21^st November the children in class 6B took part in a live simulation link via video conference with the National Space Centre. The children were split into specialist emergency response teams and prior to the live video conference, spent time researching the Island of Montserrat and practising how to carry out their tasks for the mission.

Redbridge - Uganda Video Conference

Annette Carlon, (our secondary consultant) has been involved in ana exciting link with schools in Uganda. Last week she and Oaks Park had their first V C meet. More of this will be published on the LGFL and Oaks Park portal in the future, but in the meantime, here are her thoughts and some images that the uganda school forwarded.

Thank you for sharing this with us Annette

On Thursday 1 November 07 Oaks Park hooked up with Kabalega secondary school in Masindi, Uganda to learn about a typical school day with all the associated similarities and differences! Despite a few technical hitches it was a great teaching and learning experience. After the VC I did an input to put it into context and showed the pupils some images from my visit last year - sparked lots of good discussions. Compliments to the year 8/9 pupils for their excellent preparation, delivery and behaviour and also their sensitivity towards issues raised during our post VC discussion.
