Class 3

 

Dear Parents,

A very Happy New Year to you all. I hope you enjoyed some quality time with family and friends. I'd like to say thank you for your kind gifts just before Christmas. It's a good job I do lots of exercise what with the amount of chocolate I received.

We start 2026 with some excellent topics, which will be detailed in the curriculum overview provided on this page. We also start the year on a very cold note and hopefully the children will get to experience a proper winter snow soon. With that in mind, please ensure all children have hats and gloves each day in addition to warm winter coats. The playground can become a fairly unpleasant place to be for some without them.

Yours faithfully,

Mr Ryan and Miss T
