1st Sports Day
Little Oxford Nursery and Day Care held its 1st Sports Day, which was a huge success. The theme of the sports day was 'We Are A Team'. The children were well trained for the games and did a wonderful job. They moved as a team, worked in complete coordination, waited patiently for their turns and played skillfully and cooperatively.
