Langland Community School

Hello and welcome to Aspiring Acorns.

It's been lovely to meet our new children starting school for the first time.

The children had a fantastic start in nursery class this week. Everyone enjoyed exploring their new classroom, the children had ago with lots of activities and shared the resources with their new friends. We had a great time outdoors playing with the water and in the mud kitchen.

We look forward to seeing you all next week. :-)

This week Aspiring Acorns have been enjoying our story of the week, ‘The Elephant and the Bad Baby by Elfrida Vipont’. We are learning how to sit nicely to listen to the story and talking about using our manners.

Our focus this week was building on the personal, social and development skills. We have been involved in lots of role play with our peers and exchanging language.

We've all been amazing at learning to line up 'The Langland Way' and have been  practicing all week to do this. We are very proud of ourselves. 

Well Done Acorns. 

This week Aspiring Acorns have been enjoying our story of the week, ‘Elmer by David McKee’. We focused on all the different colours we could see on Elmer.

This week we created some Elmer elephants, from our class story of the week. Acorns enjoyed using different coloured tissue paper and glue to make a collage Elmer elephant. We finished off the activity with The Rainbow Song.

Acorns also took part in celebrating The European Day of Languages. The children came to school in clothes to represent their choice of a country.

It’s so lovely to see all the children settling into Acorn class and are now grasping our class routine.

This week we have started a new class story ‘The little Red Hen’ and will be learning lots of things around it until the half term break.

The children were surprised to find a new story on Monday morning and were all happy to explore our new story and got stuck in straight away.

We really enjoy working together to gather lots of ‘Red’ items. We found red cushion, bricks, shapes, cars, trains and more talked about them at circle time. We looked at the names of each item and how we use it.            

Today we had some Paramedics visiting us with an Ambulance. We got to look inside the Ambulance with the Paramedics and try on their helmets and coats. It was very fascinating, we learnt lots from the visit.

Thank you, Paramedics

We had an extremely busy this week with the Mosaic Artist visiting us too.

We created an Ambulance mosaic with the Artists with lots of colours. It was very exciting to see an Ambulance all bright and beautiful.

Thank you to the Artists for helping us achieve this.

Acorns have had a wonderful time learning around the story ‘The Little Red Hen’, we have looked at lots of different objects the hen uses in the story and have been practicing some nursery rhymes.
