Welcome to Class 3. We are a Reception class and our teacher is Miss Kippax. We work alongside Class 2, Mrs Donnelly's class. The classes work along similar lines to the nursery with the classrooms as learning bases and the other areas we share with Class 2. The children work and learn together. Our learning is a mix of adult led and child initiated. Our learning takes place both indoors and outdoors. Please ensure your child has suitable clothing and footwear to learn outdoors.
Please ensure your child's name is in all clothing especially coat, hats, jumpers and P.E shoes.
Reading books should be in school everyday and ideally your child should have a bag to carry it in.
