Welcome to the Acorn, where the Mighty Oaks grow. Here we reinforce and build on everything the chaps learnt as Little Acorns. We help them build their confidence and independence before taking their next big step in life, moving onto Reception. To ensure the best outcomes the children have an assigned key worker who develops a warm and positive relationship with them, meeting their individual needs and encouraging them to feel strong and secure.
The children guide our topic-based curriculum, which follows their particular interests. We love creating new topics to better cater for the children interests! In saying this, we love incorporating our parents into our topics as much as possible sharing your interests and communities with the children.
Once the children move across the road to the Mighty Oaks, we do incorporate more focus time, this is an opportunity to introduce and consolidate their Literacy, Mathematical and General knowledge.
We use the seven areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage to ensure we meet all the children’s needs. Once the children become Mighty Oaks we introduce Forest School, this is a wonderful opportunity for your children to explore the great outdoors and learn all about our wonderful planet.
Parents are invited to come into the classroom for Register and News, this time an opportunity for you to join your children and teachers singing The Acorn songs and listen to the news the children have to share.
