Week commencing 9th November 2020 - Lindfield.
This week our focus has been on Personal, Social and Emotional Development.
We observed how the children manage their feelings and behaviours.
We saw some children show great empathy towards others who were upset or hurt.
We watched as children celebrated the achievements of their peers.
We were amazed at how the children have (mostly) learned the routines and boundaries of the nursery and how they are beginning to negotiate and co-operate with others.
We feel that most of the children need to practise how to tolerate delay when their needs are not met immediately and this is something we would value your help with from home.
It has been another wonderful week full of fun, games and celebrations at The Acorns.
At the beginning of the week we made some beautiful poppy pictures.
We used apples to make prints on our paper using a bright red paint and then used our fingers to make black spots in the middle. The paintings were wonderful.
Many of the children were able to tell us that we wear poppies to help us remember people who died at war.
“My Daddy has a poppy on his coat.”
“I have a poppy on my bag. A long time ago when it was the war time the people died and then everyone was sad.”
Mrs Irwin wrote a poem for Remembrance Day and we decorated our poems with finger print poppies.
