This week, Year 3/4 took a trip around Axminster to research how many different human and physical features there are in our town (as part of our Geography studies this term). We have been planning our route for a week by using our background knowledge of the area and reading maps. The students were model citizens while we walked through town! We send a huge thank you to the parent volunteers who came with us for the walk-around! Be sure to ask your child to point out different human and physical features we have found in the area!

The highlight of the week so far for Years 1 and 2 has been the obstacle course. The children had great fun and really enjoyed their time with the older children. Thank you for sponsoring them.

Where are the weeks going? We’re already in week 5 of our first half term and the children never cease to amaze us in Robins class! ⭐️ The children are working super hard this week on their fine motor skills, they’ve been busy with the hammers and nails copying and creating pictures with the different shapes. We’ve been singing lots of nursery rhymes and some of the children decided to have a go at drawing some of the characters from our songs and sang us the songs as they drew! We’ve also been continuing to explore seasonal changes and have noticed lots of the leaves are falling from our trees in the garden, so we decided to collect them up and do some leaf printing this week 🍁🍂 Yesterday we also supported the children in participating in the sponsored obstacle course, the Year 5 and 6 children were incredibly kind and supportive of the children and helped them round the course! Robins class really challenged themselves and pushed themselves outside of their comfort zones, they showed great perseverance and commitment and we are so proud of you all. Well done on another wonderful start of another new week Robins ⭐️

This week Dogs Trust came to talk to our students about how to approach dogs in a safe, friendly and respectful way. We send a BIG thank you to Dogs Trust for spending 2 days with Key-Stage 2, plus a whole-school assembly! We are now more prepared to meet more furry friends out in the world!

Year 1/2 have been working very hard this week! We have been exploring using the language, greater than, less than and equal to in our maths learning to help us compare amounts. We have also started planning our very own stories. We can't wait to start writing!

We have had a busy start to the week here in reception class. The children as per usual have been hard at work in their daily phonics lessons; working extremely hard on their sounds and their letter formation. We’ve been enjoying developing our fine motor skills by using the gems to decorate different patterns, these sorts of activities are really helping our hand muscles to become stronger! This week we’ve been thinking all about what and who makes us happy. We’ve been talking about ourselves and what we enjoy, and we have been talking about people who are important to us in our lives. ❤️ the children’s speaking and listening skills are developing significantly day by day and we love talking to the children about what makes them who they are! #EYFS #itsgoodtobeme #learnthroughplay #continuousprovision

Do you need help with childcare? We run an amazing breakfast club and afterschool club from 7.30am to 5.30pm. Our children say, "Breakfast club is EPIC! I love coming and playing with my mates before going to class. The new toys are awesome!" "After School club is great. The toast is yummy and it's great to play with on the playground with so few people because you can use everything!" If your child wants to come and give it a try, please contact the office on 01297 33005 or axminsteroffice@acornacademy.org.
