Head of School Welcome
Dydh Da!
As the term comes to a close, it has been an absolute pleasure to see our children continue to thrive. They continue to wow us all with their learning under the expert guidance of an extremely talented staff team.
From a series of theme days including World Book Day and St Piran's Day to countless sporting activities and events, this term has been full of variety. The children across the curriculum continue to experience, learn and remember more - which I am sure you will see on each class page.
Thank you families for all your continued support. Whether that is reading each night before bed, grappling with arithmetic around the kitchen table, baking cakes for the bake sale or transporting children to sporting events, you make a massive difference to our children and our school.
Now, enjoy the break; time spent with family is so valuable. Take care and see you on April 15th ready to go again with brighter weather no doubt on the horizon.

Nursery - Acorn Class
Acorn class has had a wonderful spring term! With St Piran's Day, World Book Day, and Red Nose Day to celebrate, we have dived right in and embraced all the amazing school traditions.
Our topic this term has been 'Where can we see colour' and we have really made the most of it, even on the rainy days. We have planted away and will enjoy the blossoms later in the spring season. We have explored colour mixing, making rainbows and learning our rainbow song in Makaton signing with Mrs Facey.
In maths, we have looked at tall and short, heavy and light, full, empty, nearly full and nearly empty. Its been wonderful seeing all the tapestry posts with the acorns all trying the homework fun tasks! The children have fully embraced their learning and its evident in their continuous provision play, when you hear them saying the babies bottle in nearly empty!
In our phonics we have been blending our CVC words, c-a-t cat etc and the children has blown us away with their understanding of how blending sounds and works. Acorn parents have also been working on this at home and it certainly shows through the whole class. We are also tapping the syllables in our nursery rhyme of the week. The children have worked hard listening, recognising how many sounds are in the word and then tapping the correct syllables.
Makaton has become an integral part of our learning throughout the nursery journey from signs of the week, alongside the symbols and signing our rhymes. We love taking part in sing and sign.
We hope you all have a wonderful, well-deserved break over Easter, from the Nursery Team
