Welcome to Acorn Class!  Here little acorns learn how to grow into mighty oaks, with strong roots and an opportunity to embed a love of learning in an environment which will inspire and develop curiosity. ​

 

We provide your child with a safe and fun place to learn. We work with each and every child in multiple ways to suit their learning needs and to ‘be the best that they can be’.  Every journey taken is as unique as the child. The children will experience a variety of learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom to enhance and develop their understanding, knowledge and skills. We are passionate about following our children’s fascinations and interests and enjoy each day’s learning journey.​

​​

Our curriculum explores seven areas of learning which are split into three prime areas: Personal, Social and Emotional Development; Communication and Language and Physical Development. As well as four specific areas: Literacy; Mathematics; Understanding the World and Expressive Arts and Design, child-led exploration is developed through our Choose Our Own Learning (COOL TIME).

​

Children in the early years rarely explore subjects discreetly as so much of early learning is multi-fasceted, for example, using pegs and boards to make a picture would include mathematical knowledge of shape and form, fine motor skills to hold and manipulate beads, creative development to understand how to put the shapes together as well as communication skills to discuss what they have created!  We revisit and rehearse the skills taught in our directed sessions practising those skills in our play, and becoming part of the school community.

​

Our PE session this term is dance and we are currently focusing on marching to a rhythm.

​

In the Early Years the partnership between home and school is key to happy, settled children who love to be in school. Please do come and discuss and queries you may have after school or arrange an appointment via the school office.
