Acorn Class - Term 5

We have started our new topic 'All Creatures Great and Small', beginning with dinosaurs and ending with minibeasts. This week, we made some recycled Stegosaurus art. Using pieces of cardboard, bubble wrap and sequins we created and decorated our dinosaurs. 

 This week we wrote captions for the dinosaur pictures. First Miss Corbyn reminded us about capital letters, finger spaces and full stops then we all shared ideas on what we could write for each picture. We used our sound mats to help us with spelling. 

 To celebrate our learning about dinosaurs, we had a 'dinosaur day', it was roar-some! We were visited by a T-Rex and completed lots of different activities throughout the day. Some of these activities were:
- creating salt dough fossils
- problem solving ways to free our dinosaurs that had been frozen
- dinosaur dances for our movement breaks 
- lots of colouring and draw alongs

Acorn class - dinosaur day

This week, we moved away from dinosaurs and have started to look at minibeasts. We went on our own minibeast hunt around the school grounds. First we watched a video to learn about their habitat and then we used magnifying glasses to look closely at the animals we found.
