🌟 A Great Start in Nursery! 🌟

Our three-year-olds have had a wonderful start to the new academic year and have been busy exploring all of the exciting resources and activities available in Nursery. 😊

Many of our children have returned after a lovely summer break to a familiar setting, while we have also welcomed some new friends to our Oldbrook family. The children have been getting to know one another, learning how to play together, sharing resources and beginning to build new friendships.

It has been lovely to see them exploring, playing, learning and growing in confidence as they settle back into Nursery life.

What a fantastic start to the year – we can't wait to see what adventures and learning the year ahead will bring! 💙

🌟 A Fantastic Start to the New School Year! 🌟

What a wonderful start we have had at Oldbrook First School & Nursery! Our children returned on Thursday and have already settled brilliantly into their new classes.

Over the first couple of days, the children have been busy getting to know their new teachers, reconnecting with familiar faces, making new friends and becoming familiar with their new classrooms and routines. It has been lovely to see so many happy faces around school! 💙

Year 1 also jumped straight into their new topic, ‘Our Local Area’. The children began exploring the different types of buildings we see around us and got creative by making their own houses using 2D shapes. 🏠🔺🟦

We are so proud of how well everyone has settled in and can’t wait to see all the learning, friendships and adventures this year will bring.

Now, let’s make our first full week a fantastic one! 🌟

☀️💦 A Splashing End to a Fantastic Year! 💦☀️

To celebrate the final week of the school year and the glorious sunshine, our Nursery children enjoyed a very special water play session! They brought their water guns to school and had a wonderful time spraying the flowers, trees, grass, fences, walls and outdoor toys. There was just one important rule – no spraying each other! 😊

The sound of laughter and excitement could be heard all around Oldbrook as the children had fun outdoors. While they were playing, they were also putting into practice so many of the important skills they have developed throughout the year, including following instructions, negotiating space, sharing, showing kindness to others and moving safely in different ways.

After such an energetic afternoon, everyone cooled down with a well-deserved ice pop, enjoying a special treat together with their friends.

What a wonderful way to celebrate an incredible year of learning, growth and fun. We are so proud of everything our Nursery children have achieved this year and can't wait to see many of them continue their journey with us next year.

Well done, Nursery! 🌟

🏅 End of Year Celebration Assembly 🏅

Today we came together as a whole school for our End of Year Celebration Assembly, recognising the incredible achievements of our pupils throughout the year.

Children proudly received awards for consistently demonstrating our school values, celebrating the positive choices they make every day. We also recognised the hard work and commitment of children who have supported our school through the Eco Team, celebrated our talented violinists with their music certificates, and applauded our enthusiastic readers for their fantastic dedication to reading.

The assembly ended with a very special surprise as we celebrated our Headteacher, Mr Hopkins, who has been awarded a Pearson National Teaching Award – Certificate of Achievement following his nomination for Primary Headteacher of the Year. This prestigious award reflects his inspirational leadership, unwavering dedication and commitment to ensuring every child at Oldbrook First School & Nursery has the very best opportunities to succeed. We are incredibly proud of this well-deserved recognition.

Alongside today’s celebrations, there was also an emotional moment as we said goodbye to our valued hub teacher from the Oldbrook family. While we are sad to see her leave, we are so grateful for everything she have contributed to our school community and wish her every success and happiness in the future.

Congratulations to all of our award winners, and thank you to every member of our school community for making this another fantastic year of learning, kindness and achievement.

📚 Year 1 Reading Café 📚

Yesterday, Year 1 were delighted to welcome parents and carers to our Reading Café!

It was wonderful to see so many families join us for a relaxing afternoon of sharing stories, enjoying cupcake and a cup of squash, while the children proudly showed off the fantastic reading skills they have developed this year.

The hall was filled with smiles as children read confidently to their grown-ups, demonstrating their fluency, expression and love of books. It was a lovely opportunity to celebrate the amazing progress they have made and to share the joy of reading together.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event. We hope you enjoyed spending this special time with your child as much as we did.

🏅 Sports Morning – Running & Obstacle Races! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

On Wednesday, the whole school enjoyed a fantastic Sports Morning filled with energy, determination and lots of smiles!

The children took part in exciting running races, giving their very best from the starting line right through to the finish. They also tackled a fun obstacle course, where they jumped, balanced, weaved and sprinted their way through each challenge, showing excellent coordination, perseverance and teamwork.

It was wonderful to see every child encouraging one another, celebrating each other’s achievements and demonstrating fantastic sportsmanship throughout the morning. The cheers from families and staff created an amazing atmosphere and made the event even more special.

A huge thank you to all of our parents and carers who came along to support the children and to all of the staff who helped organise such a successful morning.

Well done to every single child for taking part with enthusiasm, confidence and determination. You should all be incredibly proud of yourselves!

🍓🍌🍊 DT: Designing and Making Smoothies! 🍇🍎

Our Year 1 children have had a fantastic time completing their DT unit by designing, making and tasting their very own fruit smoothies!

Before getting started, the children learnt all about the importance of good hygiene. They discussed germs, why we wash our hands before preparing food and how to keep food preparation safe. They then practised using knives carefully to cut a variety of fruits before using a blender to transform the solid fruit into a delicious liquid smoothie.

The children worked in three groups, each creating a different recipe:
🍓🍇🍎 Strawberry, grape and apple
🍓🍌🍇 Strawberry, banana and grape
🍊🍓🍇 Orange, strawberry and grape

After tasting each smoothie, the children voted for their favourite by completing a tally chart, using their maths skills to find the most popular flavour!

It was a wonderful hands-on lesson that combined design, healthy eating, food preparation and data handling, while giving everyone the chance to try something new.

Well done, Year 1!
