Big Schools Birdwatch
We took part in the RSPB Big Schools Birdwatch. We made bird feeders to entice the birds and built hides to observe them closely. We saw lots of robins, blue tits and blackbirds.

Hunting for Treasure
Oak Class went in search of natural objects to make decorations to sell at our Christmas Fair. We raised an amazing £100 for the 'Just One Tree' reforestation initiative. Well done Oak Class

Three Bears Porridge
As part of our Traditional Tales theme we made porridge just like the bears do in the story of Goldilocks. It was super yummy with honey and banana!

Planting for Wildlife
Oak Class planted flower bulbs in the hope that they will provide insects with a winter snack during the colder months.
