Week commencing 19th February 2024 - Acorns 59

Welcome to our blog post.

We hope you all had a wonderful half term break - it was lovely to hear the children chat about their Acorns holiday and of the adventures they had shared with family.

We have welcomed 2 new teacher to The Acorns this week.

Mrs Natalie Drake at Acorns 59 and Ms Anna Chadd at Acorns 25.

Natalie enjoys crafting and has arrived armed with a huge folder of crafty ideas. We are very excited to blend these into our planning for next term.

Anna used to work with Mrs Franks almost 20 years ago at another nursery and is looking forward to starting her level 3 training with us soon.

We also enjoyed a visit from Mr Kenyon this week.

He hopes to volunteer with us for a few days to see if Early Years is a path he would like follow. The children fondly named him 'Mr Onion'

Mr Kenyon has had 2 children who attended The Acorns in the past.

This week we have been learning all about Hungary.

We have a friend at Acorns 25 who is Hungarian and we enjoyed learning all about her country.

We looked at the Hungarian flag and noted the colours.

The children set about painting their own flags, working hard to follow the instructions given.
