πβ¨ Furry Fun at Little Acorns! β¨π
We were thrilled to welcome Farms2ewe Mobile Farm Ltd to Little Acorns for a fantastic Stay & Play session β and what a success it was! The children loved meeting a delightful range of friendly animals, from playful goats and guinea pigs to a gentle pony and so much more.
There were plenty of smiles as everyone had the chance to cuddle, stroke and get up close to our adorable visitors. Our Little Acorns children especially enjoyed the experience, making magical memories and building confidence around animals in a fun, hands-on way. π

π Introducing The Open Table π
We are proud to launch The Open Table! A new initiative designed to promote kindness, inclusion and connection within our school community. Open to pupils in Years 7β11, it offers a welcoming space for anyone who may feel unsure where to sit, would like to meet new people, or simply enjoy a friendly place during lunchtime. More than just a table, itβs a visible reminder that everyone belongs here π
A huge well done to our Year 9 pupils, who created the beautiful tablecloth and 3D Open Table sign with the support of Jo Pemberton and Sarah Harris. It was fantastic to see Woody officially open the space, followed by the celebration of pupils nominated by their peers for truly living our values of kindness β complete with cupcakes! π§
Thank you to our dedicated Prefect hosts who will support The Open Table each week, and a special shoutout to Dylan (Year 9) for designing the cupcake artwork and helping create the 3D sign β an amazing contribution π
Together, weβre building a community where everyone feels welcome. π«
