This Week at Mighty Mossy!
It’s been another busy week of learning, creativity and discovery at Mossy Lea! 
Here’s a look at what our Acorn and Oak Classes have been getting up to…
Acorn Class Highlights
Music: We have enjoyed our music lesson with Ross from Lancashire Music Lancashire Professional Development Service - LPDS, listening to different beats and exploring rhythm. 
Reading Buddies: A big thank you to our wonderful reading buddies, who have been listening to our Acorn children read each morning. We really appreciate you helping us to develop our love of reading! 
Maths: We have been learning about length and height, exploring different objects and deciding whether we should measure them in metres or centimetres.
Science: We have been identifying mammals and learning about the features that help us recognise them. 
Art: We have been getting creative with printing, using objects such as fruit to create different patterns and prints. 
Oak Class Highlights
English: We completed our first modelled write and then created our own innovations on the story of Romulus and Remus. We challenged ourselves to include subordinate clauses in our writing, putting our grammar skills into practice!
Science: We investigated materials that aren't always obviously a solid, liquid or gas, including interesting examples such as toothpaste, shaving foam and sponges. We had to think carefully about their properties and how they behave!
Art/DT: We have been developing our sewing skills by practising the back stitch. There were lots of careful fingers and concentration involved! 
PE: We have been practising our chest pass in netball, working on our technique and accuracy while developing our teamwork skills.
Forest Friday: We combined nature and mindfulness this week, using items we had collected from the woods as part of a guided meditation. 
A lovely opportunity to slow down, connect with nature and take some time to be mindful.
