Despite the rain, we have been celebrating the beginnings of Spring in Little Acorns this week! Please do take a moment to enjoy the children’s beautiful blossom trees on display in the classroom.
Congratulations!
Well done to Kristine for achieving a resilience award this week. We were so impressed with how you managed to put your own seatbelt on in the minibus and we are very proud of you!

We have also loved seeing Elisabetta and Harriet’s dinosaur projects. Well done girls, you have worked so hard!

Book of the week
This week we have been reading ‘Mama, is it summer yet?’ by Nikki McClure. It is only a short book but the children have really enjoyed becoming familiar with the repeating phrases and noticing the subtle changes in the illustrations as the seasons emerge. The children were able to describe the story to me and pick out their favourite page by the end of the week – all great early literacy skills!

Quote of the Week
Our quote of the week comes from George! When I asked George what his favourite animal was, he replied ‘Zebras, because they are really fast and they don’t get trapped in prison!’.
Focus of the week
As part of our topic on Spring, this week we have been focussed on flowers! The children have loved playing in our new florists home corner, we have never received so many bouquets! On Thursday we planted some sunflower seeds and broad beans (which all the children will get the chance to do). It was great to watch the children get their hands dirty and take part in all the steps of the process.
There are so many important life skills to learn from caring for other living things, not least patience and we are looking forward to watching the seeds grow over the next few weeks.
You might also notice some jars of daffodils on the tables in the classroom, all lovingly arranged by your children!

Something to look forward to...
We are so very excited about the arrival of our ducklings (eggs at first!) and can’t wait to watch them hatch!
