A very warm welcome from the Year 2/3 team

 Class Teachers: Mrs Eloisa Nash and Mrs Katie Essex

Teaching Assistant team: Mrs Julie Smith and Mrs Melanie Reid

Welcome to our new class page! The children have had a fantastic start to the year! We are incredibly proud of how well all of the children settled in as a mixed Year 2 and Year 3 class and how they have coped with the changes to routine and expectations that being a little further up the school brings.  The Year 3 children have been brilliant role models to Year 2, showing kindness, maturity, and a superb example of our school values in action. It has been wonderful to see all the children reflecting those values in both their behaviour and their attitude to learning – well done!

We are delighted to be part of your child’s learning journey.  We strive to provide our children with exciting learning opportunities in a supportive, nurturing environment which cultivates enthusiasm and a passion for learning, enabling all pupils to reach their potential.  We highly value the importance of developing the vital skills of reading, writing and maths, as well as fostering personal and social well-being.  In addition, our exciting term topics provide opportunity to inspire and engage your children at home and school, with knowledge and understanding through the a broad and balanced curriculum.  This encompasses science, geography, history, art, design and technology, as well as music, computing, PSHE and PE.  We encourage all the children to become independent and inquisitive learners, providing opportunity to develop a growth mind set; supporting determination, flexibility, curiosity and bravery throughout the curriculum. 

Year 3 also marks an important year for the Catholic children in their journey through the sacraments. This year, they will receive the sacraments of Reconciliation for the first time and then make their First Holy Communion. These are very special milestones which will help bring the children closer to God.

Our aim is to invite all parents to become involved in school life. Throughout the year we have planned a range of parents’ events including; open classrooms, live lessons, reading breakfasts, a class assembly, a class mass, and parents’ evenings. Term newsletters will also inform you in more detail about current topics, and up and coming events.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to an exciting year ahead.
