This week in Acorns we have been listening to, talking about and performing music. We explored different kinds of instruments and the sounds they make, and then played along with the beat of different songs. It was great fun!

We also began learning more digraphs in phonics, exploring words containing ‘sh’ and ‘ch’. In Maths we have been finding one more and one less using equipment to help us, such as number shapes and ten frames. We enjoyed finding one more using ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ story, and finding one less by singing ‘Five Little Men in a Flying Saucer’.

In English we have read some stories about ‘Mrs Armitage’ by Quentin Blake, which links to our Marvellous Machines topic. We have enjoyed exploring different types of vehicles and finding out how they work.
