Trimming up for Christmas

Today we put up our class Christmas tree - everyone helped with hanging baubles and tinsel. It was so much fun!

DIWALI in Acorn class

This week we have been finding out about the Festival of Diwali. We've heard the story of Rama and Sita and how people celebrate this special time.

Today we made Barfi - Indian-style sweets made out of icing sugar, coconut and condensed milk. The children thought the coconut smelled 'lovely'!  

They enjoyed pouring the ingredients into the bowl, stirring the mixture and rolling the sticky dough into a ball. 

We've popped them in the fridge overnight to set but the children can have them tomorrow!

Dabbing with chalks….just the way to start the day!

Practising our counting….

Counting out jewels into the treasure chests….thanks for your help, Miss Beer!!

 Wow Elan! Great counting….

Mark, a local author visits Acorn class

Mark came to tell us about the books he has written and read us one of his story books. We asked him lots of questions and Mrs Maher thought we listened beautifully!

After Mark's visit, we made our own stars and moon - inspired bookmarks to take home….
