Welcome to Class 3!

Mr Price and Mrs Shaw welcome all pupils, parents and carers to our class page. The learning for each half-term will be updated, along with photos of our work. PE days are Tuesdays and Thursdays and children need to come to school wearing correct kit.

For this term, we will be closely looking at George’s Marvellous Medicine, writing in the style of Roald Dahl to make our own wonderful recipes and creating our own characters.

This half-term, we are looking at place value before moving on to addition and subtraction skills. TT Rockstars practise will be highly beneficial for ongoing development of multiplication skills.
