* Acorn Class Update *

We're thrilled to share the wonderful adventures and achievements of Acorn Class this week!

Instruction Writing Unit Completion: Our little ones in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) have been busy crafting beautiful sets of instructions, teaching their peers the importance of proper handwashing techniques. Their detailed instructions captivated everyone's attention and helped spread awareness about hygiene practices.

Meanwhile, our Year One and Year Two children delved into the world of Paddington Bear, infusing their creativity into making his beloved sandwich recipe healthier. Who knew that lettuce, cucumber, and marmalade could make such a delicious combination?

Mathematical Explorations:

In mathematics, our EYFS explorers have been honing their skills by investigating the concepts of 'one more' and 'one less.' It's been a joy to watch their curiosity unfold as they engage with numbers and patterns.

As for our Year Two mathematicians, they've been diving into the fundamentals of grouping and sharing, laying the groundwork for their journey into division. It's been a rewarding experience witnessing their mathematical prowess blossom!

Guided Reading Adventure:

Our guided reading journey reached a delightful conclusion with the completion of "Izzy Gizmo." The students were thoroughly enchanted by Izzy's inventiveness and resilience. Be sure to check out the Izzy Gizmo song on Seesaw for a musical treat!

Thank you for your ongoing support and enthusiasm as we embark on these educational adventures together. Let's continue to inspire and empower our little learners to reach for the stars!
