Welcome to Acorns Class
A caring village school with a family feel where relationships are at the heart of all we do. Our unique community is connected under the protection of the tree of life, where all are enabled to grow and flourish in their own surprising ways’
We are an enthusiastic class of Nursery, Reception and Year One children that enjoy exploring and working together.
Mrs Butcher is the class teacher and is supported by Miss Stayt.
What we’ve been up to
This term we are learning about plants and trees.
We have visited the garden centre and bought some vegetables and have planted them on our allotment. We are also growing sunflowers, peas and beans in class which will also go to the allotment.
We are having a fantastic time at Forest School: hunting bugs, exploring and toasting marshmallows.
We have been out in our village and have visited Fir Farm, where we saw the cows and enjoyed a trip around the farm.
