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

So far this term we have been settling in to our classroom and making new friends.

We have made our new classroom rules and all signed to agree them.

We will be starting Forest School this week and are looking forward to getting out and exploring our local area.
