Young Oaks enjoyed a day out at the Living Land exhibition this term.  The annual event is aimed at educating young children in the areas of farming, agriculture, countryside and healthy eating.

Our pupils got the opportunity to see and touch farm animals, taste local produce, see dancing sheep at the “Sheep Show”, Birds of Prey and many other displays and demonstrations. Most of the activities were interactive, and the children particularly enjoyed pressing fruit using cycle power, and stroking some of the animals.

Young Oaks took part in an exciting science workshop with lecturers from Canterbury Christchurch University. They explored how layers of rock from the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods were laid down and eroded to expose fossil layers. The children also investigated how fossils were formed in sedimentary rocks using bread and sweets! The children really enjoyed their work and learnt a lot about the geological processes involved.

Young Oaks have been studying the layers of the Earth, and used seeds and other materials to make collage depictions of the different layers.  Can you identify and name them?

Children from Young Oaks used recycled materials to construct “edible gardens” as part of their design and technology project last term.

The children planned and created their gardens to grow a variety of fruits and vegetables, including strawberries, courgettes, spinach and lettuce. The children finished their project by selecting and planting the seeds to create the final result!
