Grasshopper Class

Class teacher’s welcome

Welcome to  Grasshopper class.

It is going to be a fun-filled, productive and exciting year and we hope to  enrich your child’s learning with plenty of opportunities to learn through play . They will build on their language and communication skills, develop their knowledge of number and have fun developing their creative skills. In both adult led and child initiated activities, they will learn about the world and the environment around them. We aim to help the children grow as individuals whilst fostering a love of learning.
