• Happy Birthday Sir Captain Tom and thank you for your inspiration

  Fri 30 Apr 2021

  To celebrate Captain Sir Tom Moore’s 101st birthday at Oakham we participated in the 100 challenge set by his family. We incorporated this challenge into our maths lessons throughout the school and took part in lots of exciting activities.

   

  The photographs below show some of the fun we had and some of the terrific learning.

   

  We had lots of fun taking part and we would like to say thank you to Sir Tom for inspiring us.

   

  "You can do and be anything you want to be."
