We shall have a fishy, on a little dishy!
Acorn children have been reading The Rainbow Fish in class this week. We had some little visitors of a fishy variety, mackerel, sardines and a smoked herring. The children explored the feel and the smell of the fish, afterwards Acorns had a taste as well. Who knew mackerel and smoked herring on buttered bread would be such a hit? To top off our week the children made a collage of the rainbow fish.
Run! Run! as fast as you can, you can't catch me, I'm the Gingerbread Man!
The Gingerbread Man story has been a big hit in Acorn class this week! We have baked biscuits and played with ginger scented play-dough. We have even created our very own lifesize collaged Gingerbread man. The children have used props and a sensory board where we have crushed and rolled ginger biscuits to re-tell the story.
