This week it has been all about harvest. Thank you for the lovely selection of vegetables that have been brought in. We have had various squash, broccoli, pepper and a few strange things too! We have looked at the lovely colours and talked about them. We will take the vegetables that we haven't used to the Church with us on Tuesday for their display. Mrs Irwin made some lovely chips out of a squash which we all enjoyed with our lunch on Tuesday. They were yummy. We also

Another busy week at The Acorns! The children enjoyed a walk around the village to see if they could spot any scarecrows that had been left out from the Arts Festival. They held the magic rope well and listened carefully to the teachers as they crossed the roads. We think that Acorns Archie is amazing and even though he didn’t win any prizes at the weekend we think he is the best scarecrow ever! We had a pottery session with Jane where we enjoyed making our own faces out of c

Autumn really has arrived at Acorns! Glorious sunshine, torrential downpours and the wind. The excitement of conker collecting continues and we helped Mrs Butcher collect a whole bag of them on Wednesday. I wonder what she will do with them? Miss Vincent read us a very funny story called, "The Tiger that came to Tea". We had little tea parties and talked about who we'd like to come to tea. We did tiger stripe painting, with conkers, of course! Next week we are going to tr

This week we have been extremely busy getting all of our projects ready for the Lindfield Arts Festival. We looked carefully at the trees in the garden and noticed the bark on the trunks. We thought we might try to create bark on our tree so we dunked some string into sticky glue and stuck it on to our cardboard tree, we then painted the tree using sponges and brown paint. We waited for the first side to dry before turning it over and doing the other side. We then painted so

Welcome back everyone! Over the last two weeks we have spent plenty of time outside seeing and feeling the seasonal changes. We have picked and eaten so many blackberries! Conker Sheep also picked blackberries before going off for a sleepover at Benji's house. He has been very busy over the holidays helping to look after Clara's chickens. While picking blackberries we were mindful of the fact that there are berries growing in the hedgerows that we shouldn't be picking! Th

What a busy week! This week we have been singing lots of nursery rhymes. On Monday we made finger mice after singing Hickory Dickory Dock. Mrs Booth helped us to make some Lemon Curd. We had to crack eggs, measure sugar and grate lemons. It was so yummy – we enjoyed eating it at snack time. On Tuesday we made clocks with moving hands. We looked carefully at the numbers and set our clocks to 1 o’clock. Just like in the rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock. We also made a big clock to d
