Welcome to Class 3!

We are a Year 1 class and our teachers are Mrs Shaw and Miss Melvin. PE this term is usually on Fridays - please ensure children have their full PE kits with them and earrings are removed. Sometimes PE days can change so it is important that PE kits are left in school. Children will need to bring a school bag every day to carry their reading book and letters. Please try to hear your child read day where possible and send their book back to school the following day. During the term the children will be issued with homework on Thursdays - this is to be returned by the following Monday. Sometimes we have on-line homework and the log-ins and passwords for Bug Club and My Maths are at the front of your child's homework book. We value your support with their homework.
