Oakwood School

Sports

The children at Little Oaks Nursery and Kindergarten take some form of physical exercise everyday and once again benefit from the wider teaching staff and facilities at the main school.

Ballet/Movement

All children take part in weekly ballet/movement lessons. A qualified ballet teacher visits the site weekly and teaches the children the basics of movement and dance. This is fantastic for their deportment, balance and concentration.

P.E.

The children all have P.E. sessions which they either have outside in the wonderful grounds or in the gymnasium. During these times, which are taught by a qualified instructor, they learn basic ball skills, co-ordination and teamwork.

In the summer term, Little Oaks join with the rest of the children in the Pre-Prep to take part in Sports Day. This is a wonderful family occasion where children are celebrated and rewarded for taking part.

Swimming

Little Oaks children have the opportunity to swim once a week in lessons taught by qualified instructors. This is an important life skill and we are thrilled that many children are swimming unaided by the time they move on to the Reception class. We do however recognise that all children develop at their own pace.
