First week back in Oak Class

Oak Class have had a wonderful first week back at school. We have been busy doing so many things. We have played in puddles, practised our fine motor skills, learnt about 2D shapes, done lots of Phonics activities including a word hunt, collected leaves for leaf hedgehogs and then made the hedgehogs during Forest School, learnt the Rama and Sita story and so many other things. We also talked about Mrs Laycock’s trip to Iceland, looked at some of her photos and even held some real lava! We’ve had a wonderful week!
