We have had a fantastic week of learning in Year 3, this week has flown by!
School is always such a busy place with lots going on, but there has been calmness in our classroom since we’ve come back from our Christmas break. The children (and the adults) are enjoying moments of quiet and reflection and this is reflected in the children’s work too. There’s always a buzz of excitement when we’re learning something new but I’m noticing more now that we’re settling quicker to focus and complete independent work.

Henry proudly told us how his family have been collecting food and gifts to distribute to those in need. We all agreed that this was an amazing act of generosity and kindness.

Children need to be at school at the St Patrick’s road entrance early each Thursday at 8:30 am so they can be registered and get on the coach.
Children will not need any money as the lockers are able to be used free of charge. They will get changed in cubicles. Graham and the team are super at helping all students to feel comfortable in water and develop their skills. The first lesson will be an assessment to enable group placement.
Children are always hungry after swimming! Please ensure they have a healthy snack to eat afterwards.
