Welcome to Kestrels!
Our class teacher is Miss Richards.
Our teaching assistants are Miss Simons and Miss Price.
PPA cover is Thursday afternoons and this will be covered by Mrs Wheatley.
Please ensure that the children are completing at least 30 minutes of TTRS every week to help build the fluency they need to support their wider math learning. This can be done in smaller chunks if time is short. It is vital that children also read as frequently as possible and out loud to enable them to develop the skills they will need for now and in the future.
Knowledge organisers can be found at the bottom of the page for key knowledge and vocabulary the children will be learning. You can use these to practice at home.
