The day in Acorns starts with Busy Fingers, and then we run around for our 'Daily Mile.' We all practice mindfulness techniques to make our brains feel calm and ready for learning. Then we start our topic based learning and play!
In the spring term, we have been learning through the topic of 'Julia Donaldson' and then will be moving to learn about 'People Who Help Us.'
In RE, we have been learning about why people pray and when they might do this. We looked in depth at our 'thank you' prayer which we say every day before lunch and made up actions to accompany it. We also created a 'reflection den' in our classroom where we could go for a moment of stillness and to talk to God.
In Acorns, we love Forest School! Especially in spring when there are so many signs of new life starting to peek out. We have been building dens, creating leaf rubbings on foil, comparing and measuring natural objects and enjoying exploring our wonderful wooded area.
We had a fabulous World Book Day, moving from class to class and trying out a variety of creative activities based on our four 'school house' groups: Oz, Narnia, Neverland and Wonderland.
Our current topic is 'People who help us.' We have had some exciting and informative visits from people who help our local community including a paramedic, a police officer, a communications officer who specialises in informing the public about recycling, a psychotherapist and a vicar.
