We are so lucky at Oakwood to have a range of different bikes and sit on scooters. Not only are they really fun to use but it is helping to develop strength in our legs and core. It also help develop special awareness in moving around the playground.

Friday was the return of the treat trolley! We enjoyed going down to the trolley with our treat money to choose something we would like. We brought money in to school in our money wallets and spent it at the tuck shop. We could choose between tasty things to eat or pens and pencils and small toys.

Over the summer holiday, a lot of rubbish has blown on to our school site. We spoken about this in class and the pupils said that it looks messy. We also discussed that a lot of animals live in our school grounds too and they might get hurt by the rubbish over the floor. So to care for our school and make it look a nicer place we credited to make it better. Kate got litter picker grabbers for us and we went out and found as many bits of rubbish we could and put it in the bin. We managed to fill 4 black bags. Not only have we made our school look better and cared for the animals, but we also had lots of fun and wanted to go out again the next day!

Over the past couple of weeks in music we have been looking at whether the music is loud or quiet and also high notes or low notes. They have learnt to look at musical notation to help decide which volume to play and listening carefully to when there are high notes and low notes. We then played these on a range of musical instruments.

What a brilliant start we have made in Willows! The new secondary school uniform looks amazing and I can’t believe how grown up you all look. The uniform can be purchased from Crested Schoolwear if you are still interested or when your child grows out of what they currently have.
