Also, the fantastic RE linked Judaism life workshop, learning about other ways people live and their important celebrations. They have thrived stepping out of their comfort zones and trying new things with celebrating Chinese new year through dance and new foods. They all rolled up their sleeves and got their hands dirty to help tidy and prepare our allotment plot for Spring that is on its way. They have explored the nature trail, visited the allotments and made comparisons with how it looked and what was growing when we last visited. From enjoying the short lived flurry of snow and the many opportunities to explore the icy conditions and watch the seasons change. Acorn Class Spring Term 2 2023Īcorn class have had a fantastic start to 2023. We have enjoyed thinking about how Easter is celebrated in Church, and we have made our own Easter garden, decorated a cross, and sung a joyful hymn. In RE we have thought hard about Easter and what it means to us. The children enjoyed using cubes as a unit of measure to weigh different classroom objects on the balancing scales. They have been using the vocabulary heavier, lighter, the same as, balanced, greater than and less than, when comparing the mass of objects. The children measured their friends and compared their heights. We have enjoyed measuring height, length as well as maths and capacity in Maths. The children wrote paragraphs for the diary, working on time connectives and punctuation. It helped that we had learned about the seasons and how plants grow to understand the journey the tiny seed went on. It was great to make connections with our topic learning in English and writing our own version of the ‘Tiny Seed’ by Eric Carl. We have worked hard on our phonics, and on our spellings and sentence writing. They even used some fruit and vegetables to create their prints inspired by Orla Kiely in our art lessons. The children particularly liked learning where our food comes from, looking at fruit and vegetables that are grown in different countries. In our geography topic, the children have also been investigating plants in different habitats in the UK and around the world. Measuring rainfall and temperatures daily, showing our results in a chart. By working scientifically, together we have also studied the weather and seasons. In addition, they have labelled diagrams to show the structure of trees and plants. They have been working very hard in Science this half term after our nature walk at Holton Lee the children went on to identify and classify garden and wild flowers and different types of trees. The highlight being a fantastic trip to Holton Lee. Acorn class have had a great half term learning about the ‘Space around Us’ on Earth.
