Fun-filled Friday

Oakstead have had a busy final day working hard to show we can earn our gold teamwork bead. This morning we worked as teams to compete in a quiz testing our knowledge of all our Oakstead activities. As part of our quiz we had to watch a video really closely and then answer questions about it. After break we worked as teams to create 3D human pictures of animals we had seen at the zoo.

Furzey Thursday!

Today we were lucky with some beautiful sunshine here at Minstead. We started the day willow weaving to make dream catchers. We then had a walk up to the beautiful Furzey Gardens fairy hunting. Followed by a sing song, joke telling and putting our clay hearts into the fire. What a fantastic last evening full of memories.

When Oakstead went to the woods today...

Today has been another busy day at Oakstead. This morning we headed into the woods for a muddy walk. On our way we collected natural resources for our afternoon activity. We made it back in time to catch up with what our friends are getting up to down at Minstead. In the afternoon we were set a challenge to use the things we had created on our walk and turn them into an animal scene, inspired by the animals we had seen at Marwell. Another busy day: 1 more day to go!

Fairy tale Homework by Willow Class

Willow Class have created some fantastic homework inspired by all the fairy tales we have been reading in class.

Wet Wednesday!

This morning we swapped activities so both groups have now completed Muck Movers and met Baaaabra and Benji (the sheep). Then this afternoon we have been on a walk up to the famous bog, where our wellies and toes got really muddy. We then came back for a good clean up before our lantern procession to try and look at the stars this evening.

Year 4 River Art

Year 4 have produced some fabulous art based on river perspective.

3LD Class Assembly

Terrific Tuesday!

Although there were a few tired faces around this morning (including the adults). Today has been another action packed day at Minstead, Woolly Workers, Muck Movers and a lovely visit to Minstead village, followed by the church.

Cedar class Assembly

Cedar class really enjoyed performing their assembly where they acted out the story of The Jolly Postman or other people's letters by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.

Our Postman scooted around the stage and delivered letters to many characters found in traditional tales which were read out by some of the children.

The children also sung and danced along to a favourite song "Reach for the Stars" by S club 7.

Well done Cedar class!!!

Oakstead's animal adventure

Today the children at Oakstead have had a busy day exploring Marwell Zoo, learning about all the different animals and their habitats. We had the chance to meet a range of animals across the zoo, including giraffes; a baby pygmy hippo and Ralph the wetsuit-wearing penguin. What an exciting day!
