Butterfly Class

Class teacher’s welcome

Welcome to Butterfly Class Page!

I am 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.

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

Home learning opportunities 

In science, we are learning about animals including humans and what is needed to keep us alive. This includes how to keep healthy through exercise and a balanced diet. At home, have a go at trying some new foods and making some healthy meals. Take photographs and send them to the school office! Additionally, if you do any sports at the weekend, take some photos for us to share in the classroom
