Acorn Class
Welcome to Reception, Year 1 and Year 2!
Acorn's teaching team is Miss Scarlett, Mrs Hunter, Mrs Boggis and Mrs Wright.
Acorn class aims to provide a nurturing environment that places the child at the centre of their own learning. Acorn class has an excellent learning space with quality resources for learning and independent exploring. We are fortunate to have access to an amazing outdoor area that the children have access to rain or shine. Children can get busy building in our construction area, den building, gardening, cooking in the mud-kitchen, bug hunting and much more. The use of these areas enhances the children’s learning development. The children never run out of things to do!

We discovered leaves bigger than our hands (and heads, in the case … Read more
Shapes, Glorious Shapes!
Sheep class have been recapping their knowledge of shape these last few weeks, and we have had lots of fun doing so. We made 2D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks, we practised our shape recognition (and different orientations) by completing some tangram puzzles, and we have been making 3D shapes out of playdough. The cube … Read more
