Welcome to Chough Class!
In Chough Class (Choughs are the black birds in our school emblem), we have our fantastic Year 3 and 4 children! Our teacher is Mrs Elsden and our teaching assistants are Mrs Jones and Mrs Blake. Mrs Pardal will be helping us on a Monday and Thursday this term. We have a lovely classroom with large windows looking out over the Church.

Please encourage your child to read regularly for pleasure and record this in their Reading Records. These will be checked every Friday and children will earn a raffle ticket if they have read on 4 or more days that week.
Every Friday, children will bring home their maths and Spelling, Grammar and Punctuation (SPAG) books. The task will be dated on the contents page and recorded in Reading Records. Children will earn a raffle ticket for each task completed and two for each task if the books are returned by Thursday!
