Welcome to Class Topaz!

Our class teacher is Miss Blackburn and Mrs Hodkinson is our learning support assistant. 

We are:

 - a wonderful Year 1 Class!

- becoming more independent and put our things away by ourselves.

- very grown up! We even change our own reading books.

- a very caring class and are always thinking of ways to look after each other.

- very enthusiastic learners and always work hard.

This year we will be using POWER MATHS a new exciting scheme and learning English skills through fantastic themes.

We have outdoor PE on a Tuesday; so we need to have kit suitable for this.

We are so excited to welcome you back to school and can't wait for a fantastic year ahead!
