Wow, what an afternoon we had! Mr. Innerdale and his helpers did an excellent job of organising a fantastic range of activities and races. We had glorious weather and loads of team spirit. Nursery children, Reception children, school staff AND parents/carers joined in! Miss Potts and Ross Whitfield were so speedy! Thank you to everyone for taking part and watching the children have a brilliant time.

The sun came out for us, and so did the people, and that resulted in a fantastic Summer Fayre on Wednesday 16th June.

There was a really good turn out from the community as a whole and the atmosphere was fantastic.

For Chinese New year, Reception and Nursery got together to share the wonderful things the children have been learning about Chinese culture. We performed dances, songs and parades with masks, dragons and instruments.

Here is an overview of some of the activities we will be doing in nursery this half term.

This term our theme in Nursery is 'Stories of 3 and Traditional Tales'.doc

We all had a fantastic time at the Foundation Stage Halloween party.

We raised £136.00 towards our exciting Outdoor Classroom Project. Thankyou for your generosity.

Everyone has done very well and we have been busy learning new things, making new friends and having great fun at Little Acorns this September.

Look what we have been doing...

We had a great time at the beach - it was a typical English summer weather - but our packed lunch went down a treat...

then we went to the aquarium and saw......

We were super in our Class Assembly as all types of creepy crawlies and itchy things.

We told our favorite minibeast story - The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Look how fab we were.....

Foundation Stage (nursery and reception) had a fantastic day at Tynemouth on our school trip to the Blue Reef Aquarium!

2009 saw the beginning of the Chinese New Year of the Ox. We celebrated Chinese in Nursery with fun activities - making dragons, eating delicious noodles and a lot more......

What a busy, fun and exciting half term we have had at Little Acorns. We had a super Sports Day, visits from 'People Who Help Us' and a bouncy Rewards Day!

Big smiles all around despite the weather as Little Acorns set out on their Big Toddle to raise funds for Barnardo's.

Thank you for coming to see our class assembly. Didn't we do well?

We had a super time during French Week in Little Acorns.

Read on to see what we got up to....

We had a fab time in Nursery on Monday exploring cornflower and water, commonly known as gloop (so did Mrs Wilcox)

The children were amazed as the gloop changed as they touched it - it went from runny and drippy to smooth, solid and cold (In their own words). We made shapes, letters and pictures which magically dissapeared.

As our weekly colour is orange the appropriate food colouring was added (yellow and red as Emily reminded us).

Mrs Wilcox apologises to everyone needed in cleaning up, but it was well worth the mess.

It was great - if you want to have some fun at home - just mix some cornflower and water in a suitable container - and get gloopy!!!
