Butterfly Class

Class teacher’s welcome

Welcome to Butterfly Class Page!

We are so excited to share with you all the wonderful work and exciting things we get up to in Butterfly Class. It is going to be a fantastic year with lots of engaging opportunities for new learning. We are a loving and nurturing class and this year we will support the children to flourish and develop both socially and academically throughout their school journey.

We look forward to showing you all the wonderful things we get up over the coming weeks.
