Celebration of ideas!!!!






Please check out http://www.tremendoustahi.blogspot.com/ for details of how childrens thinking about heroes in wartime is going to be celebrated on the global stage after a local hero visited our school.

Brigadier Torrance a Vietnam Veteran visited our school, he was impressed with the childrens questioning skills.










Danyon Loader came and shared with the children of ODS how they could become a hero through determination and believing in themselves. A very inspirational presentation.

Children have been working on using contextual language in their questioning, this has made a huge impact, both in quality of questioning and the childrens confidence. Danyon Loader was also impressed with the quality of questions, he said they really had to make him think of his replies - great work students and teachers!!!
