This half term in Acorns has absolutely flown by! We can’t believe that Year 1 are ready to move on to their new adventure in Year 2, whilst Reception have been helping to make our new Fellgate pupils feel welcome during their transition sessions.
Here are just a few snippets of what we have been getting up to over the last few weeks.
Making sandwiches for our strawberry tea
Fun at our strawberry tea, in memory of our colleague Alison Thompson
Minibeast hunting
In DT, our topic was ‘Chop, Slice and Mash’. First we tasted some ready made sandwiches, then we shared our ideas about our own likes and dislikes. We used various kitchen tools to chop, slice, mash and grate, and then designed our ideal sandwich.
We created our sandwiches and taste-tested them, sharing them with other children in school. Then we said what we would change next time. It was so much fun!
Our half-termly parent/carer activity. We created portraits of each other.
In the last week of term we said a final goodbye to our buddies in Year 6 (Oaks), with personalised cards and ice pops. We wish them luck in their new schools!
Every day has been a new challenge and all of the class team are super proud of each and every one of our Reception and Year 1 children. We can’t wait to see what September brings!
