It has been a delightful week in Acorn class bringing friends together, building relationships and having lots of fun!

Quote for the week - Don't grow up, grow down.

even on a four day week!

We started the week with a practice run for sports day and are all very excited to see just how far we can run and how fast!
Our topic 'ready stead go' has led us on a journey all the way to Australia where animals such as Koala bears live.
A thirteen headed monster came for a visit and counting has been a focus this week. We discovered a new favourite book called My shadow is pink, the children have loved listening to it.

Just a few of our moments this week

This week, Karen has been in France with Year 6 however we have still had lots of fun in Nursery.
In Forest school, we have a new piece of apparatus that all of EYFS have been enjoying. The children have been thinking all about emotions and using the colour monster story as inspiration. In PE we focused on balancing and using balls to bounce in and out of hoops. We have also had lots of fun on the decking with the water tray, musical instruments and the pirate ship. 

Have a lovely weekend everyone

The highlight of our week has to be our Early years trip to Rosemoor Gardens on Tuesday!
It was a lovely warm and sunny day, perfect for our workshop all about Bees..... did you know that a bumble bees have a really long tongue, honey bees have a very short tongue and bees dance in a figure of eight to tell other bees where the pollen is. The children all made bee crowns and did a bee dance, we went on a bee hunt, planted a pot of seeds to grow at home and after our lunch explored the play area. We even had time to take a quick look at the fish in the pond before heading back to the coach for our return journey, sun kissed and ready for a siesta.
Have a lovely half term,
Early years team

During PE on Tuesday we turned into beans, French beans, string beans, frozen beans and jelly beans, before we turned into Giants! stomping through the castle. Lots of lovely time spent outside with a visit from year one and years six today. Team work on the decking and retelling stories together.

Acorn children have had such a lovely week of outdoors learning on the decking and at forest school. camp building, water decorating the decking (and each other) washing Dinosaurs, making snakes, pond dipping with Mrs Ware fast times and calm time all outside. 
We were interrupted by loud noises and men at work when some people came to cut two trees down, although we were sad to see the trees go we have put the logs to good use and worked together to create a sitting circle at the Ted Hughes shelter.
