Our Oakwood Makaton Choir have been busy learning the signs and words to one of our favourite Christmas songs. We really wanted to share all their hard work through creating our own Oakwood Christmas Video. We have also used this opportunity to showcase all the classes Christmas fun activities throughout this special time of year. We hope you enjoy!!!!🎄🎄🎅🎅🎉🎉🎁🎁

Today was a very special day for a small group of children that have been closely working with their peers at Rushall, as they had the opportunity to visit London and attended the Superbloom event at the Tower of London.
The children were absolutely amazing throughout the whole day and enjoyed admiring all the different wild flowers growing around the tower grounds. Many of our friends spotted and named different flowers, as well as recognised some of the insects flying between the flowers.
During our day we got to meet a real ‘Beefeater’ and also explored the grounds of the tower. We took part in a special presentation at the ‘Tower of London’ to celebrate the Queen’s Jubliee and the wonderful growing projects all the schools around the country have completed.
Another highlight of our trip was the sight seeing of important London landmarks including the ‘London Eye’ and going through the dark tunnels during our journey.
