Since our Little Acorns started school on a full time basis, they have been learning many new skills through the topic 'Dangerous Dragons and Dungeons'. The children have enjoyed exploring our role play castle and outdoor dragon den, as well as playing in our own outdoor building site (as the work on the school buildng comes to an end). All the children worked together to collage a a huge dragon from different materials and they loved getting sticky fingers as they worked to make their own papier mache dragon egg. The children have also been introduced to our class robot 'Beet Bot' and they were able to input instructions into him to help dragon go shopping!. Our counting and sound work has continued and the progress that children have made has been fantastic. We have explored height and length and taken part in lots of fine motor activites to strengthen little fingers and hands. Here is just a taster of some of the play based activities our Little Acorns have enjoyed over the last 4 weeks,
