Black History Month
October 21
Through this term, every year group in all of the Oak Trees schools have been participating in Black History month projects. All classes have been reading equality and diversity related texts and learning about black heroes throughout history. Each school then created a Martin LKuther King display and added the children's hopes and dreams for equality and diversity in the future. We want all of our children to be treated fairly and for them to treat everyone equally as they become adults, which is why work like this is so significant. Please look at our Twitter feed for photographs of the work we have completed.

Tatton Park - Year 4
8.10.21
Year 4 travelled to Tatton Park today to experience what life was like as a viking. They learnt to battle with shields, track deers, make clothes from animal skins and horns, weave threads, build walls (using wattle and daub) and farm wheat. What a brilliant experience!
Junior Playground
8.10.21
It has been an extremely exciting week as we have watched the new junior playground being constructed! Our brand new climbing frame and ball shoot will help to keep our children active during break times. Unfortunately, the children may have to wait a few weeks to have a turn because the teachers are very excited to have a climb first! We look forward to adding more interesting equipment to the playground as the year progresses.
Hello Yellow Day
7.10.21
Today we supported the children's mental health charity Young Minds by dressing in yellow. We are passionate about supporting children to maintain a positive mental attitude, which has been particularly challenging through the pandemic. Days like these are extremely important to maintain awareness about speaking to someone if a pupil has an issue or concern. The children loved dressing in yellow!

Healthy Bodies Healthy Minds
1.10.21
Today we held our Bike-it, Walk-it, Scoot-it Breakfast, although pupils could have also swam to school! It was great to see so many children coming to school in an active and healthy way. The fruit and pancakes were gobbled up quickly as the children arrived at school. Hopefully our next event will be a bit sunnier!
