We are Year 3 and Year 4 (ages 7 to 9). As part of Lower Key Stage 2, we are beginning to work more independently on a variety of exciting and fun topics.

Our Teaching Team includes Mr Thomas (class teacher), Mrs Sutton (Thursday and Friday afternoons), Miss Marks (Teaching Assistant) and Mrs Batten (Teaching Assistant). Their main aim is to make sure we feel happy, safe, and confident in our learning.

Each morning, we are warmly welcomed into the classroom and settle quickly to our activities. Before our main lessons begin, Mr Thomas makes sure we take part in some physical exercise – we love going outside for this! Our mornings usually include maths, spelling, writing, and our daily act of worship.

At lunchtime, we enjoy playing outside on the playground or, when we can, on the meadow. In the afternoons, we have daily reading followed by a range of other curriculum subjects.

We love our light, open classroom, and through the windows we have a beautiful view of the Church. Our classroom environment helps us understand how to get support with our learning, and the staff are always kind, helpful, and know us well.

We are very lucky at Offwell School to have the woods right on our doorstep. We try to visit as often as possible. When we are there, we enjoy adventurous walks, building dens, playing games, and sometimes making fires – occasionally we even toast marshmallows! We also visit Cleave Farm every term and have loved watching the litter of piglets grow.
