Hello Acorns,

What a beautiful first week back we’ve had. Christmas is around the corner and in Acorn’s class we have started to bring the Christmas spirit.

Plenty of Christmas activities have been going on. We’ve been decorating our Christmas tree, creating our own Post Office and we also received a visit from Rudolf, who brought a book for us.

We have also have been very busy writing Christmas cards for Age UK.

The merits of this week have been given to Zayyan for being very thoughtful and kind with his friends. And also to Kaia for being very good with the toilet. She didn’t have any accident this week!

I wish you a lovely weekend.

Hello Super Acorns,  

After a long two weeks, the children needed to re-adapt themselves to the nursery routine.

Everybody has done an amazing job!

This week has been very busy. We have introduced our new topic ‘This is all about celebrations’. And our story of the week is ‘Elmer’ by David McKee.

As you know, this week England is celebrating The Bonfire night on 5^th of November. In Acorn Class this year we wanted to join the Bonfire night Celebration by eating hot dogs and take part in different activities such as fireworks, rhyme movements, learning important facts about fireworks and bonfire night and create our own bonfires using our fingers.

This week the merits has been given to Noah for paying attention at learning time and using his counting skills. And to Kian for being brave when he needs to say bye to his mummy in the mornings.

I am very proud of you.

Well done!

I have attached a label to your child’s book reading records with the Seesaw QR code for you to join.

Please remember every Friday is our library book day. Please remember to make sure your child brings their book with them to change for a new one to read.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Garcia

Hello Super Acorns, 

Today is our last day of the First Autumn Term.

This week has been very different learning from home but very exciting at the same time. I am very proud of all of you for what you have achieved. I have learnt so much from you and I hope you have learnt something new from this experience.

I would like to say a big thank you to all of you for being connected this week. I am very glad to have had the opportunity of sharing this new educational approach with you which we have all needed to adapt to. You brighten up my day by sharing your amazing videos and pictures of your activities. It gives me the opportunity to know you and your families a bit more.

I would like to share some of your wonderful pictures from this week.

Thank you so much for your help and support at home.

Have a lovely half term break!

Miss Garcia

Hello Super Acorn Class,

Another wonderful week has finished and we have only one week left before our half term.

We have been reading many stories this week, but one in particular called ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ written by Michael Rosen. Our Acorns have been developing role plays through this story, as well as maths games and pencil control activities.

October is Black History Month in the UK. This event that has been celebrated for more than 30 years. We have been talking about the contributions that people of African and Caribbean backgrounds have made to the UK over many generations.

We have read stories, done group time learning by talking about the similarities and differences and between us, and how Mo Farah and Usain Bolt inspire us to work hard and believe in our dreams.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and remember to…

Hello all!

I hope everyone is well.

Another amazing week has been and gone!

During this week everyone has been working very hard on numbers, self portraits and we have done a lot of fun activities about cutting.

As you know, the book for this week and for the following week is “We Are Going On A Bear Hunt”. A beautiful story everyone has been involved in.

This week the merits has been given to Phoebe for using her voice by asking the teacher to go to the toilet. And to Frederick for using his thinking voice, putting his hand up during learning time.

As a reminder, we are exchanging our library books every Friday. Please remember to read the story with your child.

Have a lovely weekend!

Hi everyone!!

I hope you are having a fantastic week. At Acorn class we had a lovely week enjoying the last of the sun playing outside, learning new concepts such as Harvest celebration, learning new songs and practicing some writing with others.

I would like to highlight how confident everyone is becoming in only a few weeks. I have seen a lot of improvements, especially in the mornings when they need to say good-bye as well as during learning time when the children need to remember to put their hand up and encourage themselves to talk in front of others.

Hi Acorn Class!

I just want to give a huge congratulation for how well everyone has settled in. Everybody has made me feel so proud!

I understand it can be tricky to settle in, especially after a long break, but everyone has surprised me at how well they’re all doing. They have been amazing at creating relationships with each other and being so brave saying bye-bye to their families in the mornings.

In our first week we have been working on following new routines, getting to know each other, becoming more independent and leaning a few new songs. We have been reading plenty of stories and playing outside enjoying the beautiful weather.

Today was our first Merit assembly. Although it was different to our usual Merit assembly, as we held it in our EYFS bubble, it was still fantastic to be celebrating all of our wonderful achievements again.

Congratulations to Kyia-Rose and Angel for receiving our Merit certificates this week.

Kyia-Rose has been such an amazing friend. Kyia-Rose helped another friend to stand up when he fell off and gave him a cuddle.

Angel has found her voice. She has been fully engaged in the learning classes, using her voice to express her thoughts in front of her peers.

I will update this blog every Friday, so please have a look and be a part of celebrating our class successes. I will also be sending out small celebration postcards and superstar stickers throughout the week to share the everyday achievements the children have made.

Remember, if you have any questions, please contact me via email at acorns20@st-annes.wandsworth.sch.uk

Have a wonderful weekend!
