Highlights of the week:
It was great to see the children really enjoy the Oakmere mini-marathon this week. The children really tried their best and all completed the course successfully. The children have also been looking at healthy diet this week by designing and making fruit sculptures. The class put a lot of thought into their designs and the different fruits that they could use. They showed great teamwork building the sculptures together and a had a lot of fun presenting their final piece to the class too.
