Well we’ve done it again! Fun, fun, fun but not so much sun this week. However this did not stop us from our learning and planned activities.

Red and purple group have been working really hard reading the tricky words and sentences given to them, as you can see by their little faces they’re very proud of themselves and rightly so! Amazing 😉

Orange and Blue group have had lots of fun experimenting and exploring this week. They made paper aeroplanes and then tested who’s traveled the furthest ✈️ their fun did not stop there as their trip to the woods for some outdoor learning looks great! Working together as a team and climbing trees 🌲

Then Green and Yellow group have been busy making things to go inside our Covid time Capsule. They have worked really hard on writing for these and that’s clear to see. ✍🏼

Our Covid time capsule is nearly ready to be buried. The children have loved taking part in this talking about how the virus effected them, their experiences and how the ares is going to change. They have took photos of the land that they can see from the garden with all the construction work going on. I have been amazed by them and their views of the virus and the world they live in. ❤️🌈

On Thursday the 16th all of nursery will be celebrating their leavers by having an end of term party 😊 🎉

If your children attend this date they are more than welcome to dress up ready to take part in the fun and games we will be having. I hear there might be a little treat for the best dancer.

We will be getting party food for the children to have as a little snack, so please don’t send your children in with food like we have asked and done in previous years.

Thank you all, let the celebrations begin.

Due to the weather forecasted for tomorrow, we have decided to cancel our sports day. Hopefully the week following will be better for us to go ahead. Thank you

Last week orange and blue group were very busy. We enjoyed;

Decorating our biscuits for snack 🍪

Making fans to keep us cool ☀️

Joining in with yoga

We also enjoyed our film Friday, we watched trolls and ate popcorn yummy 🍿

Mighty Oaks this week have been so busy! We have really enjoyed our science week doing lots different experiments. Our volcanoes were a super success, giant explosion that really surprised the children as they predicted it would blow up so high. We were lucky to have some fantastic jelly rocks, that changed over time with water , they grew so big and the children had lots of fun feeling and playing with them especially with the new grabbers we had.

Cooking this week Red and Purple Group made fruit lolly pops, this really tested their fine motor skills, as we left them to chop and mush the fruit all by themselves. Then we added a little bit of ice cream ready to freeze. They then had them the next day for snack. Yummy 😋

They’ve been in the forest school area exploring the natural wildlife and climbing on the equipment. As you can see they are very creative in building their own ideas for climbing and sliding on. I hear their little picnic up there was quite a treat, but they deserve it, they have worked so hard.

Red group and Purple group have been looking at two letters one sounds and tricky words. Today they have done us proud by reading sentences! Watch out Newdale school because these little super stars are coming your way.

Here at Mighty Oaks we have been so busy doing lots of different activities. We have been painting rocks to go in the garden. Getting ready for Father’s Day by making cards and gifts. We even had time to get physical in the big hall.

Red group and Purple group this week have been very busy making bird feeders and volcanos. We have tidied the garden up and noticed how many different birds visit us. We made bird feeders out of bottles and moulds for them to have yummy treats. The children have really enjoyed finding out the birds names from our poster outside.

Then for wonderful Wednesday cooking we made volcanoes from ice cream cones, biscuits and yummy sweet treats. The children have been researching volcanoes ready for our science week next week.

Over the last few weeks orange group have been working really hard with their maths and their writing. Here are a few pictures of the work we have been doing. Orange group children are so proud of their work and rightly so :).

Well done orange group, I’m so proud. Sophie :)
