Storytime</li> <li>3.30pm: End of School Day (for Reception and School Day Nursery/Kindergarten/Pre-Reception children)</li> </ol> <h3>Little Oaks Learning</h3> <p>We are incredibly lucky to have daily opportunities for the children to access a variety of well planned activities with our specialised teaching staff in their classrooms and work spaces. An example of our School Day is below:</p> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;" border="1"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 16.6667%;"></td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Monday</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Tuesday</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Wednesday</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Thursday</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Friday</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Nursery</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Dance</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;"></td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Forest School</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;"></td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Music</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Kindergarten/Pre-Reception</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Dance</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Swimming</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Forest School</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">P.E.</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%;">Music</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> <h3>Passion for Outdoor Learning</h3> <p>Our unique environment of 65 acres of woodland and open space lends itself to our strong belief that outdoor learning is an integral part to your child’s development.</p> <p>Experienced and passionate, qualified Forest School team deepen the children’s curiosity and build resilience, risk-taking and determination through activities such as tree climbing, den building, fire making and habitat hunting, using the natural environment for all aspects of learning.</p> <p>Little Oaks is a purpose built Early Years development with an enclosed playground which extends out into our secure woods for the children to explore.</p> <h3>Music, Dance and Swimming</h3> <p>As well as being taught a music lesson, dance session in the dance studio and PE lesson in our Sports Hall by qualified specialists each week, music and movement form part of the daily life in Little Oaks.</p> <p>Children are encouraged to learn traditional nursery rhymes and songs, including using sign language and explore percussion instruments, music making and developing their rhythm and coordination.</p> <p>A fantastic advantage of having a purpose built ‘learner’ swimming pool gives our Kindergarten and Pre-Reception children the opportunity to swim weekly with our fully qualified swimming instructor at school.</p> <h3>Offering an Enriched Learning Experience</h3> <p>Throughout the academic year, Nursery, Kindergarten and Pre-Reception children take part in a variety of interactive experiences, led by external visitors. Recent activities include a visit from Goring Fire Station and the mobile farm, Farms2Ewe.</p> <hr /> <h3>Transition from Nursery to Kindergarten</h3> <p>At Little Oaks, we are always putting our children at the heart of everything. We pride ourselves on ensuring that each child is treated with individual attention, especially with regards to their learning needs and development and assess this regularly throughout the year. Therefore, children are moved up from Nursery to Kindergarten on or around their third birthday. This is usually done on a case by case basis ensuring the child’s best interests are considered.</p> <h3>Transition from Kindergarten to Pre-Reception and Reception</h3> <p>A dedicated member of the Little Oaks staff will be a keyworker to your child and build an open, trusting relationship with you and your little one. We offer regular parent meetings and a shared online learning diary using the Tapestry platform. This all ensures that what is taught in Little Oaks can be supported and echoed at home. This level of continuity also ensures that each child is ready for their move into Pre-Reception in the September following their fourth birthday and then up to one of our Reception classes.</p> <h3>Reception Learning</h3> <p>When pupils move up to Reception, they are immersed in the Junior Prep curriculum that is literature rich and centred around building core transferable skills that equip them in developing key knowledge and an understanding of the world around them, whilst being meaningful and relevant to their everyday experiences. <a href="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/junior-prep/pre-prep-learning-curriculum/">Click here for more information</a></p> </div> </div> <section class="dynamicContent Dynamic dynamic-documents "> <div class="documents"> <div class="row align-items-center"> <div class="document col-sm-6"> <a class="document-link" href="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Guide-to-Little-Oaks-2024-1-1.pdf" target="_blank"> Guide to Little Oaks </a> </div> </div> </div> </section> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-4 col-md-5 order-md-2"> <div class="sidebar"> <div class="side-menu-container"><nav id="subnav" class="sub-navigation" role="navigation"><ul id="menu-side" class="menu"><li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-page-ancestor current-menu-ancestor current-menu-parent current-page-parent current_page_parent current_page_ancestor menu-item-has-children menu-item-3152"><a href="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/early-years/"><span>Early Years</span></a><span class="arrow"></span> <ul class="sub-menu"> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page current-menu-item page_item page-item-10190 current_page_item menu-item-10201"><a href="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/early-years/early-years-learning/" aria-current="page"><span>Early Years Learning</span></a><span class="arrow"></span></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-4361"><a href="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/early-years/extended-provision/"><span>Extended Provision</span></a><span class="arrow"></span></li> <li class="menu-item menu-item-type-post_type menu-item-object-page menu-item-4362"><a href="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/junior-prep/admissions/little-acorns/"><span>Little Acorns</span></a><span class="arrow"></span></li> </ul> </li> </ul></nav></div> <section class="dynamicContent sidebarDynamic dynamic-poi "> <div class="container"> <div class="row pois"> <div class="col-12"> <a href="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/admissions/" target="" class="poi " > <div class="poiImage"> <div class="poiImageBG" style="background-image:url(https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Junior-Prep-Curriculum-image-1-768x768.jpg)"></div> <img width="768" height="768" src="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Junior-Prep-Curriculum-image-1-768x768.jpg" class="attachment-large-thumbnail size-large-thumbnail wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" srcset="https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Junior-Prep-Curriculum-image-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Junior-Prep-Curriculum-image-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.oratoryprep.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Junior-Prep-Curriculum-image-1-300x300.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px" /> <div class="poiText"> <div class="poiTitle"> Admissions </div> </div> </div> </a> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="dynamicContent sidebarDynamic dynamic-quote "> <div class="quotes-holder"> <div class="quoteContainer"> <div id="quotes" class="cycle-slideshow cycle-slideshow-init hiddenNow" data-cycle-log="false" data-cycle-fx="fade" data-cycle-auto-height="calc" data-cycle-timeout="7000" data-cycle-slides="> .singleQuote"> <div class="singleQuote"> <blockquote class="quote-text"> <p><span style="color: #333399;">“I am delighted with my child’s progress, his friendships and his opportunities.
