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!
For updates on our learning, please check this page regularly. An outline of this half term's curriculum can be found below ('Curriculum Clouds' PDF documents). For the latest news and reminders, please visit the Parents section of our website and select Newsletters. In the meantime, please take note of the following:

***EMAIL WORKING***
Please contact me on our new class email address that is now up & running. I am missing you terribly and would love to hear from you. 
padiham3w@padiham.lancs.sch.uk
E-MAIL ERROR
To all of you who have tried to contact me via the new class e-mail address, I apologise that it is still out of use. I know that you will be continuing with your learning at home but I hope that you are making time to have fun with your families too! You are very much missed and we are thinking about you every day and cherishing the happy memories we have made so far. 
Today would have been our last day with our favourite lady, Mrs Shaw. As upsetting as it feels to know she won't be reuniting with us, we wish her every health and happiness and thank her for devotion to our 3W family. 
Today would have also seen us waving goodbye to Miss Wheatcroft, our student teacher. We thank her for her kindness, dedication and imaginative lessons. Her very own class will be very lucky to have her. 
For now, I will leave you to enjoy your Easter break but if I do manage to gain access to our class email in the holidays, I will respond.
Stay safe and laugh lots!
Love from Miss White, Mrs Shaw, Miss Fort and Miss Wheatcroft.
