Additional Information

Welcome to Year 3 - I can't wait to get to know you this week!

Meet the Teacher is on Wednesday 15th July 2026.

Children need their reading book and reading record in school every day. 

Every child should have a coat each day - we believe that getting outside (no matter the weather) is important.  

PE kits should include a spare set of socks and a PE jumper/hoodie.

 

Show and Tell

Show and Tells are welcome on Fridays but these should be recent personal achievements or linked to our current class learning.
