In our class, we like to learn in lots of different ways and have fun! 

Some of our favourite learning activities are going shopping, cooking, singing and we love messy play! Most of all, we enjoy learning together! 

Mrs Evans & Mr Brooks are our teachers and we are so lucky to be supported in our learning setting by Miss Ward, Miss Thomas, Miss Walker, Miss Griffths, Miss Hawkins and Mrs Botto.

A few helpful reminders!

• Class fund is paid on a Monday every week and is £3. This covers our fruit, healthy snack, cooking, sensory sessions and going out in the local community. 
• Our PE day is on a Thursday.
• Our forest school's day is every Thursday afternoon.
• If you have any questions or queries feel free to ask on Class Dojo.
