Find out what OTTER CLASS have been learning
Welcome!
A warm welcome to Otter Class from Mr Cappuccini and Miss Phillips.
Our curriculum
As they move into key stage 2, the children in year 3 continue to learn a broad and balanced curriculum. They continue to develop their knowledge in a range of subjects, including science, history, geography and French. Furthermore, there is greater emphasis on understanding and learning spelling rules and using formal methods of calculation.
