Welcome to Class 3!

Mrs Wiggan, Mrs Goodwin and Mrs Shaw welcome all pupils, parents and carers to our Class 3 page.

The learning for each term will be updated. We will also share photos on our social media page on Facebook. 

At home we encourage children to read daily, with a parent or guardian signing their individual diary. Parents are also encouraged to ask their children questions about the books they are reading to improve their comprehension skills. Children will be given TT Rockstar logins, we also encourage children to practise on this at home.
