Acorn

Welcome to Acorn Class - EYFS

We have had another busy and exciting half term in Acorns. We have had a huge push on phonics and writing and the progress of the children is clearly evident in their work. Many of the children are now secure with their set 2 sounds and are applying this to their writing.  
 
In Write Stuff we read Chocolate Cake by Michael Rosen and used this as inspiration for writing instructions for making a chocolate mug cake. We then read Ruby’s Worry. 
 
In maths we have been practicing counting to 20 using bead strings. We have also been continuing to use doubles and to think about odds and evens. We have started to use the language of add and take away and have been doing this in lots of different ways. 
 
Our topic has been changing and growing and the children have been discovering the life cycles of frogs, butterflies and hens. We made a beautiful 3D display in the corridor showing these lifecycles which used an array of different media and techniques. We have also been thinking about how humans change as they grow from babies to adults.  
 
The children have done lovely observational and still life drawings where they have demonstrated excellent pencil control and observational skills.  
 
We learnt all about VE day and celebrated this by making our own flags.
