Welcome to Acorns Class. We are an enthusiastic class of Reception and Year 1 children who are excited about learning. Mrs Rawlings and Mrs Marks are our teachers.
What we’ve been up to
We are having a lovely Summer Term in Acorn Class. The warm weather is very welcome and we love getting outside when we can. In Maths, Year 1 are learning to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. Reception are learning to find one less than a number.
We have all just finished writing our own version of the well known story Handa’s Surprise. We really enjoyed using lots of adjectives to make our writing descriptive.
Computing this term is all about programming and we are having lots of fun programming Bee Bots (small bee-like robots)!
