Summer Scheme Aug 2009 – A Musical Finale
Day 15 – The last day of the Summer Scheme and musical Monday had turned into the Summer School of Rock. The tutors were Don and Joy (Guitar and recorder) Nathanyal (keyboard) and Freddy Brown (drums) who joined later on in the week to the excitement of all the children who couldn’t wait to bang on the drums.
A Lesson in Life
Imagine if the National Curriculum for secondary education had a mandatory lesson called ‘Life’. ..
Imagine a lesson that would equip children with the necessary insight to achieve their full potential without having to fall in life’s potholes. A lesson that taught the value of hard work, pride and achievement over a life spent looking over their shoulder for rival gangs and police.

Summer Scheme – Week 2 Photography
Day 10 – Photography was on the agenda on week 2 and the kids proved to be David Baileys in the making. As well as learning basic techniques of taking good photos and experimenting with the camera, they got to create and take part in a cat walk show, strutting their stuff and having the opportunity to be snapped up! And of course creating their own personal frames for their perfect shots.

Day 5 – Oasis Academy was bustling and excitement was spreading. Costumes and props were out in display and tempers were at times flaring to get the performances perfect. The IOW team encouraged the children to complete a personal crest expressing their greatest loves, biggest achievements, something to be proud of, personal goals and mottos.

Day 3 – The kids were raring to go and were keen to learn more. They all came across more confident and stronger. Personalities were coming out, some thriving and vibrant than others, but just wait till they really get comfortable and all the personalities start blossoming!
Chocolate rice crispy cakes were on the menu and kids with parents got “stuck in” making as many cakes as possible. There were no traces of chocolate to be seen! Claire then showed everyone how to perform relaxing messaging techniques which everyone joined in and left feeling refreshed.
Summer Scheme 2009
Day 1 – The IOW team were keen and raring to go. The children at first apprehensive, but soon the fears faded as they were encouraged to sing, street dance and learn acting skills. Ages ranged from 8 to 11. The tutors, Keisha (music/singing) Duran (street dance) and Chelcee (drama/performance) encouragingly introduced exercises and games for them to take part in and the fun ended with a pizza making competition and the winner of the most creative pizza, (yet to be announced on Friday!)
