Halloween fun at Little Acorns!

31/10/2020

It has been a delight to welcome children to the Halloween-themed Holiday Club this week. Much fun was had by all! The children concocted witches potions; made monster blow paintings (with straws); made monster shadow puppets and explored slime! The children also learnt new vocabulary through a variety of stories, music and fun Halloween word games. Our atmospheric reading of 'A Dark, Dark, Tale' by Ruth Brown (read by torchlight) was particularly successful and had the children on the edge of their seats until the very end!

Despite what has been a unsettling year for us all, Little Acorns is very proud to announce that seven young pupils gained entry this September into National Sections of nearby International schools, or onto the fast-track English programme with the Ecole Privé Notre-Dame in St Germain en Laye. One of these pupils comes from a British family; four pupils have English as a second language and two pupils have English as a third language! The children and their families should be very proud of their achievements!

Today, the children took great pleasure in observing the kiwis, apples, cherries, tomatoes and strawberries growing in the garden. We also watched a bee collect pollen from the roses!

It was a delight to welcome back the majority of Little Acorns pupils to classes this week. It was particularly lovely to see them smile and laugh out loud.

Today, around the world, we celebrate International Nurses Day to mark the outstanding work our nurses, midwives and healthcare assistants do. This event takes place every year on the 12 May, the anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth. Florence Nightingale (the ‘lady of the lamp’) was the founder of modern nursing in the 1800’s. This year’s celebration is that much more special, not only because it is the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingale’s birth but, in these strange and difficult times, presents us with a further opportunity to thank our nurses, midwives and healthcare workers for all that they do. Thank you!

PS. There are many free online resources (e.g. factsheets, reading comprehensions and activity sheets) available for young children. It’s a great current topic for discussion. It can also be very reassuring for young children to know that there are people in their wider circle there to help them generally, should the need arise.

Aujourd'hui, partout dans le monde, nous célébrons la Journée internationale des infirmières pour souligner le travail exceptionnel de nos infirmières, sages-femmes et assistantes médicales. Cet événement a lieu chaque année le 12 mai, anniversaire de la naissance de Florence Nightingale. Florence Nightingale (la «dame de la lampe») a été la fondatrice des soins infirmiers modernes dans les années 1800. La célébration de cette année est d'autant plus spéciale que c'est à la fois le 200e anniversaire de la naissance de Florence Nightingale et, en ces temps étranges et difficiles, c'est une nouvelle occasion pour nous tous de remercier à nouveau nos infirmières, sages-femmes et agents de santé pour tout ce qu'ils faire. Merci !
