KS1 - Acorn and Beech together

Author Visit at Sibford School

Our friends at the nearby Sibford School invited our pupils from EYFS, Year 1 and Year 2 to attend an author visit.  The guest speakers were authors Adam and Charlotte Guillain who spoke to the children about their books, writing and being authors.  We had a fantastic time and hopefully, as well as inspiring to read books, this will add to the children’s awareness of the range of possible ways to make a living open to them when they have grown up.

Our Trip to Oxford Castle

As part of their topic on Tunnels, Towers and Turrets, the children from Acorn and Beech classes visited Oxford Castle.  They had great fun and learned a lot - climbing up to the top of the hill, going down into the castle dungeons, and taking part in workshops and other activities.  A great day out!

Christmas 2015 Nativity

The children from Acorn and Beech Class performed a version of the Nativity in front of friends and family.  They did a special performance for all the children from the Ark Nursery, then for the rest of the school and the teachers.  The grand finale was a performance in front of a hall packed with parents, grandparents and friends.  The children sang and acted beautifully - a lovely Christmas event.

Trip to the Warriner Farm

Some of our younger children were invited to a Special Day at the Warriner School Farm with children from across the partnership.
They spent the day exploring the natural world, including examining and creating minibeast habitats.

We looked at the new bat and bird boxes, and some of the wildflowers and plants now taking hold.

We also looked at the new pond area and pond plants.

We all looked after each other as we wandered through.

KS1 Trip to the Cotswold Farm Park

The Children from Acorn and Beech went to the Cotswold Farm Park to inspire their topic work.  They learned a lot and had great fun!
