Acorn - EYFS
Welcome to Acorn Class!
We love to learn outside.
A bit about us...
Class Overview
Welcome to Acorn Class. We can be found near the main entrance to the school busily learning both indoors and outdoors. Our class teacher Monday to Thursday is Miss Baggaley. Mrs Weston will teach us on Friday's. Miss Smith, Mrs Bechnnati and Mrs Collinwood support our learning throughout the week.
Curriculum
We deliver a curriculum based on the framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage.
We cover seven areas of learning and development which are implemented through planned, purposeful play, both outdoors and in. This learning is developed through rich, challenging learning experiences, which offer opportunities for the children to to explore and take risks, learn through first-hand experience and gain greater independence, supporting their natural curiosity, and motivation to learn. As the children cover the areas of learning, we respond to their individual emerging needs and interests, guiding their development through warm, positive, skillful interactions, which we develop daily.
Life in Acorn Class
Each day we all embark on an exciting learning journey in Acorn Class, which stimulates and grows our love of learning. We enjoy sharing this journey with our friends and teachers alike and new experiences both from school and home are celebrated and discussed with great enthusiasm.
