Acorn Class 27th-31st March 2023

Topic- A Spring Walk

This week we are learning all about Spring and Easter. We talked about the changes that happen between the different seasons and revisited pictures from our Autumn and Winter walks. We talked about how Spring time is a time for new life and we thought about the changes we may see in our environment. We then went for a walk around the school grounds with a Spring checklist to see what we could find. We were very successful! We found daffodils, seedlings, insects, birds, nests, green leaves and buds on the trees. We even found some flowers starting to bloom in the flowerbeds and we found some blossom on the trees at the front of the school. 

Easter Bonnets

On Thursday, we invited our families in to help us make Easter bonnets! We were so excited that so many came to help and it was a busy morning of crafts! We were all so proud of our creations- we showed them off on the stage in the hall first and then we went for a parade all around the playground to cheers from the rest of the children in the school. We LOVED it!!!

Maths- Repeating Patterns

This week we have been learning about repeating patterns. We have learnt how to make more complex patterns using loose parts. We challenged the Acorns to make their own repeating patterns in circular shapes or wiggly lines.
