Class 3 Teachers

Mr Rhodes is one of two teachers in Class 3. Mr Rhodes teaches in the Class on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. He is also the English Leader in the school. Mr Rhodes says that he loves helping the children to become more independent in their learning as they move through Class 3.  

Mrs Rees teaches in Class 3 on a Friday. She has worked at the school for many years and is the Music Leader across the school. In her spare time she plays in an orchestra and just loves all things 'musical'. She really enjoys working with the children and helping them develop their confidence as they grow. 

Welcome to Year 3!

Hello and welcome to Year 3!
We are very excited and forward to the year ahead with our fantastic group of Year 3 children. Not only are they in a new class but a whole new Key Stage. There are exciting opportunities that we will have as we move forward in our learning. We will all be working together to make sure that we are confident as we face new tasks and challenges.
We hope our children will be happy in Year 3 and enjoy all the learning experiences we have to offer.

 

Our current PE days will be Tuesday and Thursday. Please make sure that children come to school wearing their PE kits on these days. 

As a school, we encourage children to be safe online. Below are some websites to support this at home.
