Today in Literacy we had clues delivered linking to our new book. We worked out that it was Jack and the Beanstalk. After listening to the story, some of us enjoyed building the giant’s castle outside. @SchoolWhitegate
Acorns have had a great day celebrating David Attenborough’s birthday. We have done lots of activities, including making a butterfly feeding station, painting our favourite animals and painting the earth and also writing sentences about how to keep it safe. @SchoolWhitegate
Today we have loved beginning to learn about David Attenborough in preparation for celebrating his 100th birthday. After learning about his life, we then wrote facts about him. @SchoolWhitegate
What a wonderful educational visit we have had today! The children loved seeing such a wide variety of animals and were even brave enough to stroke some of them! Well done Acorns 😀@SchoolWhitegate
Yesterday we started our week of learning all about Chinese New Year. A huge thank you to Mrs Ho for coming in to talk to us about how people across the world celebrate. @SchoolWhitegate
We have had great excitement in Acorns, after we received a delivery of some new construction equipment for our outdoor area. We have loved building different structures as well as having great fun playing in the box it all came in! @SchoolWhitegate
Today we have been working on counting backwards. We did lots of maths activities practising putting numerals in descending order from different numbers down to 10. @SchoolWhitegate
To support our phonics, we have been searching for our graphemes in rice today. Once we found them, we told our friend the sound and showed them the action that goes with it. We also used tweezers to pick them up to help develop our fine motor skills. @SchoolWhitegate
Today, we put our phonics and drawing skills to the test during Adventure Time. We built tricky words and drew one of our favourite Arctic animals - a walrus. @SchoolWhitegate
Today in Science we have been learning about rain, ice and snow. We talked about how the clouds are formed and learnt how rain and snow falls from the clouds when they get heavy. We made parts of the water cycle using crafts materials and drew simple diagrams. @SchoolWhitegate
In Maths we have been exploring finding one more. We enjoyed using the number fans and tens frames and counters to show the number that was 1 more than a given number. @SchoolWhitegate
