This week in Acorns we have been reading ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. Jack left us some magic beans and a letter, with a challenge to plant and grow some seeds!

We planted pansy, cucumber and tomato seeds, and we have put them in a sunny spot to watch them grow. We are taking turns to water our plants each day, and hope to see some green shoots very soon!

We invited parents and carers into class to listen to our favourite stories, and to share some books together. We read ‘The Smeds and the Smoos’ by Julia Donaldson, and ‘Little Rabbit Foo Foo’ by Michael Rosen, two of our favourite stories!

Everyone had fun, and the adults were really impressed with the children’s enthusiasm and love of reading. We are going to follow this up with a visit to Hebburn Central library in a few weeks time, with parents and carers also invited.

This week in Acorns we had a homework task to make a list of some of our favourite foods. We then shared these in class and compared them to foods from other countries. We explored a book all about Mexico, and learned some Spanish greetings. We also tried some Mexican themed foods and then wrote about which ones we liked and didn’t like, using some describing words. It’s been fun learning about other countries and their cultures and traditions, and comparing them to our own lives!
