Bumblebees Class
Class Teacher - Miss Dennison
Our class teacher is Miss Dennison and we are supported by our learning support assistants Mrs Keyte and Miss Richardson.
This year Bumblebee class is for children in Year one and two.
We offer a broad and balance curriculum tailored to meet the needs of our children. This also supports our aim to instil our school values and build well rounded individuals.
We have daily phonics and English and Maths lessons. Children develop their reading, writing and maths skills through small group work, practical activities and focused tasks. We encourage children to become independent learners, building of their natural enthusiasm and resilience. We also have weekly PE sessions and PSHEE as we promote the importance of health and wellbeing.
