Oak Tree had their first potion making class this year with all the perfect ingredients to create whatever potions they wanted. From love potions to ones that did "absolutely nothing" our potion masters made a variety of magical concoctions for everyone to enjoy!  The first step was adding fresh flowers. They had so many to choose from, and quickly got to work with choosing the perfect ingredients for their potions. Some had full flower petals while others used flowers that were grounded and mashed up. No two potions were the same! Once they had their flowers added, our potion masters picked out which elixir they wanted. They explained what kinds of potions they wanted to make. "I'm making a love potion!" exclaimed one, "Mine can turn you invisible!" said another. Other potion masters had some different ideas for their magical formulas. "What does your potion do?" the educator asked one alchemist "Mine does nothing, it is just to look at" they replied.  All the wonderful potions that were concocted raised the curiosity of other potions masters and soon new students were enrolled in our potion class. Take a peek at all the closeups of these magical concoctions below!     We are looking forward to our next potion class and can't wait to see what potions are created next!

This past month, the Oak Tree children were invited to join the “Better Together Building Club”! Some of the materials we worked with included Lego, Plus-Plus, and Magnetic Tiles. Our first building task was to complete a Lego challenge card with a buddy! I handed out secret envelopes to each child and whatever envelope they chose was their challenge! Some of the challenges they received were “Build your favourite restaurant” and “Create the Jack and the Bean stock farytale”. Oak Tree Quotes: "I made a piano with the keys and the chair" "This is my restaurant" "Look how cool my boat is" Another memorable moment during our building club was our “Plus-Plus Bey Blade Battles”. This was a popular day for the Better Together Building Club as building Bey Blades is a very common activity amongst the Oak Tree children! To make this day extra exciting, I set up entrance tickets for the children to wear around their necks in order to enter the Bey Blade arena. They had to create one Bey blade out of large plus-plus, and one Bey Blade out of small plus-plus. Once they were confident with their creations, they lined up behind the Bey Blade arena and had a face-off with one of their opponents. The goal was to spin your Bey-blade and hope that is doesn't stop before your opponent’s bey-blade does. Here was the Turn out: What a successful club because it enticed a new group of children to participate in an Oak Tree Club! Thanks Oak Tree for all the fun! - Mikaela  |
