Welcome to 3W!

2019-2020

It is my absolute pleasure to welcome both children and parents to class 3W I, Miss White, am the class teacher and I am thrilled to be supported by Mrs Shaw. We also have the privilege of being joined by Miss Fort, who will be teaching in class on Thursday afternoons, and Miss Taylor, who will be teaching all day on a Friday. The 3W staff have a very exciting year planned and are very much looking forward to completing our team on Tuesday 3rd September when we finally get to meet you all!

Dahlicious Day

Here we are looking fabulous dressed up for Roald Dahl Day! We have donated money to Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity.

Super Scientists

We have enjoyed investigating electrical circuits. We all figured out how to light a bulb and some of us even adapted our circuits to sound a buzzer and spin a motor at the same time as lighting a bulb! Mr Purtill was very impressed and Miss White and Mrs Shaw were extremely proud. Next week we will begin applying our scientific findings to the drafting of our explanation texts in English.
