This is Acorns.
We have two large classrooms with plenty of space for all types of learning.
We have a kitchen with comfortable seating.
There are also play areas and a clam room to enjoy.
We focus on growing the 6 Core Strengths:
Attachment: We build positive relationships through playing together, finding things in common and working towards shared goals.
Self Regulation: We learn to recognise and name emotions, explore how we respond to and manage stress and gain an understanding about how our brains work.
Affiliation: We learn how to join in through trying new ideas, listening actively and developing skills such as taking turns, sharing and compromising.
Awareness: We learn to recognise the needs, interests and values of others so everyone can be included. It feels great to help others.
Tolerance: When we are tolerant of differences, we can become more flexible and adaptive. We see each of us is special and unique. We notice other people's interests and devlop skills such as negotiating.
Respect: We learn to appreciate our self worth and celebrate our skills. We value others so we can succeed together.
