Welcome to Year 3
It is a pleasure to introduce you to Year 3. This is a very exciting year for many reasons one being the transition from the Key Stage One to Key Stage Two. A great and exciting step in a child’s Primary Education. There is great joy and enthusiasm as children in Year 3 embark on their Key stage 2 journey. We develop on all the learning that has taken place so far. Our classroom is full of kindness, respect and reliance. We love learning in Year 3.
Mrs Corrigan is our teacher and Miss Brown is our teaching assistant.
