Tree Dressing
Tue 12 Dec 2017Local School Involved in Singing event and Tree Blessing!
Oak Tree Primary School recently visited Jubilee Tesco on two occasions this week, singing to shoppers and then working alongside the Tesco staff to bless a local tree.
The school choir visited to Tesco Jubilee on 7th December, to sing for shoppers on Thursday afternoon. The children were welcomed to the store and sang their Christmas song repertoire near the main entrance as shoppers came and left the store. Donations were collected by the pupils towards the school funds and raised £?.
On the morning of 12th December two classes worked with Oak Tree Conservation Group, Sherwood Forest Trust and Tesco staff to create bird feeder pinecones, fat balls and string peanuts. Later that afternoon they all walked on to Oak Tree Heath to hang the bird feeders and to bless the Scots Pine tree with prayers and songs. The blessing was led by Vicar Phil Stead of St Albans Church in Forest Town.
Pupils, teachers and community leaders then returned to the Tesco store to have a hot drink and biscuit, before walking back to school with a present from the store for the children who had taken part.
Oak Tree Primary School Head Mark Thrower said “Our School Choir is going from strength to strength. Tesco’s is one of the children’s favourite places to perform.
We had lots of lovely comments from the public and wish to thank them for the donations made. The children certainly enjoyed the experience.”
We are pleased the annual tree dressing has continued for another year. It is one of our established Christmas traditions continued by a great partnership between with the school, the Tesco store and a key community group all working together to support local wildlife while creating a great activity memory for the children.”

Lantern Parade
Mon 11 Dec 2017PRESS RELEASE - Dec 2017
LOCAL SCHOOL TAKES PART IN COMMUNITY LANTERN WALK.
Oak Tree Primary School worked in partnership with both Oak Tree Children’s Centre, Oak Tree Neighborhood Management Team and Jubilee Tesco to organize a community Lantern Walk around the estate.
School made sure all their pupils were aware of the event and provided the entertainment. The Children’s Centre had organized reindeer for the children to visit and crafts to take place. Oak Tree Neighborhood Management worked with Tesco to provide refreshments.
During the hour before the Lantern Walk people gathered at the Children’s Centre to hear the School Choir sing Christmas carols. The Samba Band performed a rendition of their performance pieces.
All the participants then walked around the Estate to sing Christmas songs. The event was very well attended with well over 70 people taking part.
Music Lead Kathryn Greenwood said “It was great to give our choir and Samba Band performers an opportunity to show what they could do. They did so well.
We have been supported by funding from JN Derbyshire to purchase samba equipment and by Inspire from the Old Library Theatre, who have funded a drumming expert to help us get going.
To have an opportunity to perform at a Christmas community event has been the icing on the cake to a brilliant term of singing and samba drumming”.
Oak Tree Primary School Head, Mark Thrower said
“We hope our school performers enjoyed being part of this event and that their skills were appreciated by the local community.
The event was a great start to the festive celebrations”
