Great Horwood C.E. Combined School

Welcome to Acorns!

Welcome to the Foundation Stage and Year 1 class, which is in the Old School.

Our teachers are Mrs Troughton & Mrs Sergeant

The Foundation Stage is known as "Acorns" because our school logo is an oak tree.
Our curriculum is based on the Early Learning Goals for the Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum for Year 1.

Foundation Stage
Our work is based on the Early Learning Goals which include: Communication, Language and Literacy, Mathematical Development, Personal, Social and Emotional Development, Physical Development, Creative Development and Knowledge and Understanding of the World. Our learning is play based and much of our time is spent on practical activities. Our aim is for the children to enjoy coming to school and to learn and progress in a creative environment.
Year 1
In this year we build on the skills and learning achieved during the children's first year in school. We begin to follow the National Primary Strategy and other curriculum subjects.
The Autumn 2nd Half Term we  learnt about: Using Electricity, Florence Nightingale, The Christmas Story, Special People who help us, Self-Portraits, various computer programs, exploring sounds and duration in Music, Dance moves and co-operating with others to play Games with equipmement.
Christmas will be celebrated with our Key Stage One production.
