Dragonfly Class
Class teacher’s welcome
Welcome to Dragonfly class page! We have had a fantastic start to the school year, and we are so proud of how well the children have settled into their new routines. They have shown enthusiasm, curiosity, and a wonderful attitude towards learning, making our classroom a happy and positive place to be.
This page will keep you updated with information about our curriculum and the exciting learning taking place throughout the year. It will also be a place where you can see photographs of some of the activities, experiences, and special moments we enjoy together in the classroom.
Our class is a caring and loving community where everyone is valued. We strive to work collaboratively, support one another, and celebrate each other’s successes. By showing kindness, respect, and teamwork, we are creating an environment where every child feels safe, happy, and ready to learn.
We look forward to sharing our learning journey with you and making many wonderful memories together throughout the year.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs Margerrison & Mrs Ward

Maths
All children have access to NumBots, which is a fun and engaging online programme designed to help develop number fluency and arithmetic skills. Children’s login details can be found inside their Reading Records. We encourage regular practice at home to help build confidence and improve recall of number facts.

Phonics and reading
Please encourage your child to read daily for a minimum of 10 minutes. At least 3 reading sessions per week should be recorded in the school Reading Record. Children should all have a school reading book (that can be changed regularly) but should be encouraged to read other material as well.
