This year, we will also be running a competition, ‘Story in a Box’. The children are invited to create a story in a box. All you need to do is create your favourite story inside a box. This will be a house competition – one child from each house across the school will be chosen to win a £5 voucher that they can use in our Scholastic Book Fair. If your child wishes to take part, please ensure your child brings their box in no later than Monday 3rd March. Forms can be collected from the class teacher. The winner will be announced on World Book Day during our whole school assembly.

A week in Mighty Oaks ❤️
Throughout the weeks just passed the children have took a visit to our local Morrisons, looking at different colours to find in store and healthy eating. As always the staff were super friendly and happy to show the children around the fish counter. Children really enjoyed the experience of shopping and talking through then tasting healthy foods back at nursery making their very own fruit kebabs.🍇🍓🍒🍉

Stay and play session, where you were able to pop in and have some time with your little ones. This was amazing and we thank you for this time as we know it’s not easy! The look on their faces was worth it. We hope you enjoyed looking around and seeing the environment which is now moving towards a more natural curiosity approach. 🪵🧮
Which moves me onto our planning this week being all obituaries the world around us and our senses. Through the week we’ve talked about the 5 senses and had planned activities where the children can explore these. My favourite had to be the experiments with herbs, spices and ice.

Indoor PE with Mrs Pablos
On the move! Over, under, through and jumping. Using the sports equipment the children were challenged in an assault course to really get their bodies moving in different ways in gross motor skills. Then a nice relaxing cool down with 🧘 yoga

Love was in the air for our last day celebrating Valentine’s Day
Along with ladybugs we did a rotation of activities through both nursery’s and the hall. In ladybugs room the lab was ready with a love potion station.
Ooo interesting smells and ideas from this! Stirring mixing having fun. Fine motor skills with the play dough as they got to work on some love hearts shapes and glitter. 😍🧪
Mighty oaks rooms had threading, love bands, colouring, and making paper flowers. But one of my favourites was the hall were we got to follow a track and dance with instruments and fabric to the song love train 🚂❤️

We hope you have a lovely break over next week and we look forwards to seeing you back on the Tuesday 25th February
From all the team at Mighty Oaks thank you 🙏
