Class 3 – Year 3 / 4

Welcome to Class 3

This year Class 3 will be taught by me, Miss Latham and supported by the amazing Mrs Hollowood and Mrs Clinton.

I'm delighted to be able to be teaching Class 3 again this year, I'll be looking forward to teaching your children and seeing how much they have grown and learned since I last taught them in Class 2! I'm also looking forward to getting stuck into Key Stage 2 curriculum, furthering my own skills and knowledge.
I continue to enjoy teaching and making sure our learning is fun! Outside of the classroom, I will be singing my heart out with Mrs Bannister at choir club and getting involved everyway possible in school life. As many of you know, I spend much of my time when I'm not at school with my beloved spaniel, Rodney, and with my family.

Rolling into the Summer, I am looking forward to trips to he Halle orchestra and to our residential trip. On top of that, I am very excited to be able to spend any time outside of work planning and organising my wedding!!!! Returning in September as Mrs Speed!
