Little Oaks first Stay and Play sessions were a huge success today. Thank you to everyone who came along and joined in the fun. The Children enjoyed showing their family members around their new classroom and explored a range of activities such as Building Dens in our Easter Garden for the Chicks and Rabbits, Potato Printing, Painting Eggs using cotton buds and Creating a Farm. We are very much looking forward to the next Stay and Play session next term.

The Children have enjoyed playing different action games in the school hall. Sharks and fishes is a favourite. The Sharks wear a coloured band or jacket and have to try and catch all the little fishes swimming in the sea, when the fishes have been caught they sit on the island in the middle. The Children take turns to be a shark and enjoy moving around the hall in different ways. E.G. jogging, running, walking, giant steps and tiptoe steps. We also tried travelling sideways just like a crab.
Little Oaks enjoyed participating in 'Red Nose Day' by wearing red clothing and making red nose day biscuits to take home and share.
During International week Little Oaks have been learning about 'Homes'.Our homes, homes in hot and cold countries and the materials used to build them. We have also talked about homes that animals carry on their backs. E.G. Snails, Crabs, Tortoises and enjoyed reading the story ' Sharing a Shell'.
As part of our Dinosaur topic Little Oaks have worked together this week to build a Volcano. The Children scrunched up lots of newspaper and glued it all together. Once it was dry we painted it and finally today the children watched in amazement as we added red food colouring, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar to make our Volcano erupt.
Little Oaks have enjoyed exploring in the sand this week, searching for coloured eggs with dinosaurs inside. The children have used paint brushes to brush away the sand.
We have continued with our topic of Dinosaur Roar this week. The children have been learning how to mould clay into a dinosaur fossil and using different tools to make marks on their fossil to create dinosaur footprints.
Little Oaks have been very busy during Book Week. The Children have enjoyed a range of activities including going over to the school hall to watch the year 6 children perform four different stories, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Cinderella, The Kings Breakfast and Jack and the Beanstalk. Little Oaks have thoroughly enjoyed dressing up today as their favourite book characters.
Today we have been celebrating World Maths Day. The children have enjoyed a range of maths activities such as building pictures with 2d shapes, shape stencils, counting and matching game and welly boot printing to create a number line from 1-10.
Little Oaks enjoyed tasting pancakes on Pancake Day with strawberry jam or chocolate spread. The children were able to spread their choice of filling on to the pancake themselves. We had a little talk about Pancake Day being called Shrove Tuesday and that it leads to Easter.
