We have 10 Year 3 pupils in class. Our Teacher is Cat. We are helped by Support Assistants: Taylor and Beth (Monday-Friday), Lyndsay (Monday-Wednesday) and 1 other support staff Thursday-Friday.
Sarah Woods will be teaching us every other Monday. We will be going out on the minibus for Educational visits in the morning and having PE in the hall in the afternoon.
Swimming will be on Tuesday mornings on a small group rota basis so please check your daily emails you will receive from Cat to see if it is your child's turn.
We will be accessing a range of specialist areas such as soft play, tyre park, forest school and light room throughout the week. Music with our specialist Teacher Leila will be on Tuesday afternoons.
We do a lot of learning through play, aswell as group inputs and workstation activities. We add photos to Evisence so you can see all the fun we are having.
Our Topic for the Autumn Term is Kings, Castles and Dragons.
Photos and messages can be sent in via email to Cat. We always love to hear from you.
It is important to be kind and look out for each other, so please don't be on your own if there is anything you need to talk about, or that we can try to help with.

Here is a game you might like to play:- Mr Tumble's 'The Looking Game'
Or why not play your own 'looking game' using 3 bowls / containers to hide a toy, chocolate button or sweet underneath, move the bowls around and see if your child can find the hidden item. You could make this more difficult by using more containers. Perhaps your child would like to hide the item for you to find too.
