Otter Class
Welcome to Otter Class
Hello and welcome to the Otter Class web page.
Otters are a Year 3 class taught by Mrs Louise Parfitt and supported by Miss Amy Beviss.
In Otter Class, we recognise every child is a wonderfully unique individual. We are proud and privileged to play a part in helping them to reach for the stars and achieve their dreams. Year 3 will provide new challenges as it marks the start of Key Stage 2 and we will build upon the foundations laid in previous years.
Through developing a ‘can –do’ attitude and a growth mindset, we explore children’s curious inquisitiveness that derives from an inclusive, safe and happy learning environment. Our aim is to develop children’s academic and personal skills so they can bloom into confident, resilient and independent learners.
Within the classroom, there are designated learning spaces for core subjects containing essential resources and information dedicated to help scaffold and reinforce children’s learning.
We look forward to welcoming you into our class.
Our Classroom
In order to help your child reach their full potential please support them with these key areas at home:
Reading - children should read every night for 15 minutes to an adult. Any reading should be recorded in the reading log book.
Maths - children should practice their times tables every night using the Times Tables Rock Stars resource.
Wherever possible, please encourage your child to have a go at new concepts and challenges as this will develop their growth mindset.
