• Leicester vs Chelsea with BT Sport

  Tue 02 May 2017 Sam Poulton

  Hares spent the afternoon at Ellesmere College along with the Premier League Trophy, Paul Dickov, LCFC Community Trust and BT Sport. They took part in a table tennis session supported by LCFC Disability Sports Coaches and the event was filmed by BT Sport and televised as part of their coverage of the Leicester City vs Chelsea game. The children had an amazing time and would now like us to buy some table tennis equipment. They were obviously inspired.

• International Visitors!

  Thu 02 Mar 2017
  On Wednesday 1st March we very proudly hosted a group of five Egyptian Teachers at Oaklands. Tamar, Emad, Rania, Soad and Farag had an Introductory tour and talk about the school by Mrs Osborne then spent time in classes. They were here to learn about our teaching strategies, particularly relating to Technology and teaching English. They learnt about why and how some of our pupils use ipads or other simple assistive technology equipment to support them with their communication needs. Our visitors experienced a range of lessons, from a music session to develop listening skills and group work, to Literacy and Attention Autism sessions. They thoroughly enjoyed the day and commented on the calm atmosphere in the school and the effective teamwork to support each individual child. Some of our children had prepared questions to ask our visitors when they came in to the classes, and it was valuable for the children to speak to them and listen to their answers. We thoroughly enjoyed their visit.

   

  The visit had been organised by the School of Education at the University of Leicester.
