Collingtree

Welcome to Acorn Class!

In Acorn class you will find our Reception and Year 1 children.  They are taught by Mrs Petrie (Mondays to Thursdays) and Mrs Waller (Fridays).  Mrs Collinson works full time as the class teaching assistant.  Acorn class can be found in our Victorian block which is the original school building for our beautiful village.  Acorn class share this building with the children who attend Collingtree Day Nursery (children can attend here from 2 years old and their website is:  http://www.collingtreedaynursery.co.uk)

The learning environment for the children consists of the main classroom, conservatory (for messy learning) and our wonderful outdoor learning space (see below):

In the Autumn term our learning theme is:  Castle Capers!  The children will be finding out about what it was like to live in a castle and be a knight.  They will also listen to and write stories about dragons!

At the start of the new academic year, our year 1 children will look at number and place value.  Below you will find a knowledge organiser which will help you to support your child with this maths topic.  Please help your child to learn the key words.
