We have had a busy half term in Acorns! Our topic is ‘Bright Lights, Big City’. and we have been finding out about the United Kingdom.

Reception have been learning about the weather and animals, and using their phonics skills to read and write words and sentences. In maths they have explored numbers up to 10, finding ways to represent the numbers in different ways as well as counting, ordering and matching.

Year 1 have been exploring adjectives, prepositions and imperative verbs, as well as writing directions and detailed character descriptions. They have also worked hard at improving their handwriting, learning new ways to join letters. In maths they have explored numbers to 50, place value and fractions.

Our topic work started with a little bit of research about the Queen. We had a royal tea party with crowns, dancing and royal snacks. We also practised our bowing and curtseying just in case we ever meet a real life member of the Royal family!

In Art we have been creating transient designs, exploring shape and lines using different types of pencils, and making collagraph prints. This linked to our work in science where we have investigated materials and their properties.

Everyone has worked super hard and had a fabulous time learning new things!

 

Well done Team Acorns!
