St George’s Day celebrations

Mighty Oaks started of the week celebrating St George’s Day by reading the story ‘ George and the dragon.’🐭🐉📖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and looked at an educational video on CBeebies on the knight George.We decorated biscuits in the colours of the England flag, painted our very own dragons and pictures, made a huge castle, then we acted out the story line of St George slaying the dragon, to memorise the occasion we of course had a little singing and dancing on the new stage too which they love ❤️ see attached the cute video in the photos.

In base camp Mrs Pablos carried on the fun activities by reading to them while they sat amongst the breeze of the trees and ate their snack, how amazing does that sound!

Their adventures continued as they explored the ever changing environment around them by collected sticks and flowers making patterns on the ground with them. 🌳📖🏞️

With our topic being houses and homes in the world around us the focus planning was all about maps. We studied these in many different formats, looking at where animals live and come from comparing the differences from land to seas to hotter climates and cold ones. The children then recalled their recent visit to the Dingle pool and park by making their own large scale map in their colour groups they drew local landmarks starting from nursery all the way back. I was pleased to hear it was the little things that they remembered, through the eyes of a child, just beautiful! 🗺️🦆

In read, write, ink the children leaving for school come this September have started to look at the letters m, a, s, d, t, and looking at picture flash cards that have the initial sound, ie, M for mountain, mouse, monkey and so on. They have really picked this up and enjoy helping Fred Frog 🐸 to talk the sounds he hears into words, like d, u, ck…duck! Bravo little ones we have some super listeners and magnetic eyes on your teachers.
