Resource Provision EYFS - Acorns 2025 - 2026 Hello everyone! I am Sophie, and I am so excited to start my new role in Acorns, where we'll be having lots of fun learning and growing together every day. When I'm not in school, I love spending time with my family and friends.
I enjoy going on long walks, doing beach yoga when its lovely and sunny, I also love being creative- whether that's through art, baking, or exploring new places. I am very excited to be your new teacher and can't wait to get to know each and every one of you. We're going to have a wonderful year filled with laughter, learning, and lots of exciting adventures!
