Mr Sands has been busy putting the 3D printer to good use making face shields for NHS and care workers. He and a few friends have been tweaking a biodegradable open source design that allows movement and fits most, from an adult down to a 2 year old. Here's the prototype!

Good morning, we hope you are all safe and well, and staying at home wherever possible.

Good morning to you all on day 2 of #OckbrookAtHome
Senior pupils should continue to work through assignments set, any questions please ask teachers through Microsoft Teams and school email addresses.
Primary pupils, please go to week 1, day 2 of your plan to find your work. Please note, we appreciate that supervision of younger pupils' learning can be difficult with everything else families are having to cope with at the moment. If you are finding getting though all the work difficult, primary pupils should prioritise the English and Maths activities. Take some exercise to break up the day and plenty of fresh air, if you are lucky enough to have a garden! Keep sending us your news and pictures and stay safe.

Good morning! Senior students will find their ass

Good morning!
Senior students will find their assignments on Microsoft Teams and they can reach their teachers through the app or by email (using school e-mail addresses only, please). Feedback will be proved through Teams as well.
Primary pupils have their individual differentiated work packs and they should start on Week 1, Monday. If any support is required please contact primary teachers via the email addresses already provided (parent e-mails only). Please keep this work, as we will be collecting it in to mark/ provide feedback.
If you want to tell us what you're up to or share any photographs or tips, then (parents) please contact us via Facebook Messenger. We will assume any photos you send are approved for publication, so please don't show children's names on folders etc.
All enquiries about work should be sent directly to the relevant teacher.
This is obviously a challenging time for the whole country but we are sure that the Ockbrook School community will continue to support each other, in the way we always have. Stay safe! #ockbrookathome
