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 have started Forest School! We have been enjoying the outdoors and thinking about what we are going to plant on our allotment too!
We have been thinking about the birds that visit our site as a part of the Big Bird Watch and will be counting the birds we see.
