Year 3

Welcome to Year 3!

Dear parents/carers and children,

The Year 3 teacher is Mr Salter. I am supported by our class TA, Mrs Terry who is in class every morning (and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons). We are really looking forward to a great year of learning in Year 3. Our PE days are Wednesday and Friday. Please come into school in your PE kit on these days.

Our class page contains information about what we will be studying this year, as well as links to useful websites. We would love to see any work or reading the children have done outside of school, so please encourage them to bring this in!

Very best wishes,

Mr Salter
