Sycamores and Acorns really enjoyed listening to the story, ‘le petit caméléon’ during buddy time. They joined in with memorable phrases and learnt lots of new French vocabulary! We were very happy when le petit caméléon was found under the rainbow which inspired a French song about the rainbow! Très bien!
Every Thursday. Acorns and Hawthorns have their weekly reading club. This is run by Mrs Malone, Miss Henderson and Jo-Anne.
In the first session, everyone chose a favourite book which we put into our special reading club basket. Every week we focus on a different book, so everyone has a turn to share why their book is special.
Last week we looked at ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. We found some mysterious magic beans, read the story, and then did some reading, writing and creative jobs linked to the story. We had so much fun!
In Music lessons we have been listening to music, sharing our thoughts and finding the beat. This will help us to create our own beat and compose our own music.
In phonics we explored the ‘ow’ sound, then read and wrote some ‘ow’ words.
In Maths we have been using the mathematical vocabulary ‘more than’, ‘less than’ and ‘equal to’ –
3 is less than 5
Equal means ‘the same’
6 is more than 2
We have also been reading ‘The Jolly Postman’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg, and finding out about what happens in a Post Office.

This week Acorns have been to visit our new sensory space. We enjoyed exploring the equipment and playing games like ‘Berry Splat’, ‘Bubble Pop’ and phonics games.
This half-term Acorns are working with Adam in PE to learn how to follow instructions, listen carefully and work together as a team.
We loved our first session today.
Player of the week
Last week we had a fantastic time with our buddies. We did some Christmas crafts together and shared some stories.
Oaks love spending time with their buddies and have been setting a great example for the younger children to follow.
As a special treat, Acorns and Sycamores buddies spent the morning together making Christmas decorations. We had lots of fun!
Acorns and Sycamores looked so smart in their Christmas jumpers. We all sat with our buddies and enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner!
This week in Acorns we have started our Christmas preparations. We put up our Christmas trees, and everyone was invited to bring a bauble from home to add to our mini tree. We have been making Christmas decorations and paper chains, and we decided to build a sleigh for Santa!
In Maths we have been exploring the composition of 10, and looking for representations of 10 around us.
In phonics we have worked hard at our blending and tricky words, and we are trying hard to form our letters correctly.
It’s been another busy week!
