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!

Poor Billy worries about everything; shoes, hats, clouds and even giant birds. Until one day his Grandma gives him a worry doll. This story inspired us to make our own worry … Read more
Jelly Bean Porridge
After exploring oats in our creative area, we started talking about how our grown ups make porridge at home. Some children explained they had jam in their porridge whilst others had chocolate, this discussion inspired us to make our own porridge! We wrote a list of ingredients and instructions. A child then said “I wonder … Read more
