Year 3 Squirrels

Welcome to the Year 3 Squirrels!

My name is Miss Daley and I am delighted to be teaching the Year 3 Squirrels this year.  Miss Vallimulla and Mrs Sargent will also be helping us in Year 3.  At the bottom of our class page, you will find lots of important information such as our class bulletin, homework grid, curriculum overview and lots of useful websites to support learning.

Important Reminders

* PE - Our PE day is Monday, however, it is important that PE kits are in school at all times.
