Welcome to Acorn

We have an exciting year planned with a range of opportunities ahead to support your child’s learning. We will be working on relevant life skills needed to become more confident and independent. We have a set structured daily routine with hands on, sensory learning and specific focussed learning in phonics, number and speech and language. Acorn class also has a wonderful outside area for learning and play and a fantastic sensory room, with an enthusiastic staff team to help every step of the way. Your child will be in an enriching and supportive learning environment that focusses on both academic growth and emotional well-being.

We focus on our fine motor skills every day through dough disco and our gross motor skills whilst doing daily dance and desk drumming. Pupils who are able, take part in more formal PE lessons with Oak class and/or their peers in mainstream.

We will regularly keep in contact with you via Class Dojo but please feel free to talk to us at the end of the school day.

How to support your child at home:

• Read bedtime stories daily
• Practice signing using the core word boards sent home each week.
• Talk about the story of your child's day – what they have been doing, what was the best part of the day.
