Year 3 are taught by Mr A. Deakin
Welcome to Class 3!
We are made up of 31 wonderful pupils! In Class 3, we always work hard to be the best we can be and develop our independence as we embrace life in the Juniors! Mrs Kirkman is on maternity leave at the end of this academic year, and Mr Deakin is our new teacher.
Who helps us to learn?
Mr Deakin is our class teacher, whilst Mrs Kirkman is on maternity leave. Mr Deakin loves to teach science, maths and PE. He also loves to find ways to help children to learn, whilst having fun inside and outside of the classroom environment. Mr Deakin loves developing his knowledge about inclusive and adaptive teaching practice as he recognises the importance of this. He loves walking his two dogs, Monty and Ivy when at home.
Mrs Kavanagh works with us in Class 3 as a TA, helping us with our learning to make sure we are always being the best that we can be! Mrs Kav, as she is known by lots of the children is also a member of the play team and helps us enjoy fantastic play experiences in our OPAL play!
Information about our Class:

In the juniors, children are responsible for changing their own reading books. This is monitored by the staff in Year 3. Children can change their reading books weekly. Please remember to record home reading in the reading diary so that children can achieve their rainbow badges! The staff in Year 3 will support and encourage to read at home and earn lots of lovely rainbow badges.
