Welcome to Pluto Class!

My name is Miss Easter and I am delighted to be your child’s class teacher this year. I am very lucky to be joined by the wonderful Mrs Craigen, our teaching assistant. Together, we are excited to create a positive, supportive and inspiring environment where every child can flourish.

Year 3 is such an important step as children move into Key Stage 2. It is a time for developing independence, taking on new responsibilities and growing in confidence as learners. Just like the planet Pluto, our class will be full of curiosity and discovery. We will explore fascinating history topics, investigate scientific questions, express our creativity through art and design, and immerse ourselves in engaging texts. Guiding us throughout the year will be our 5Cs: being confident, coordinated, creative, curious and great communicators.

Reading is at the heart of Pluto Class. Developing a genuine love of reading is one of our key priorities because reading underpins all areas of learning, helping children build vocabulary, imagination and knowledge. We will enjoy a wide range of stories together, explore our TLC books in depth, and encourage regular reading both in school and at home. My hope is that every child discovers the joy, wonder and adventure that can be found within the pages of a book.

Our Year 3 curriculum is carefully linked through our TLC books, providing exciting opportunities for reading, writing, drama and discussion. These texts help children make meaningful connections across subjects while developing their vocabulary, imagination and critical-thinking skills.

I am very much looking forward to working in partnership with you this year and seeing your child grow, achieve and thrive as a valued member of Pluto Class. Together, we can make this a happy, successful and memorable year filled with learning, laughter and discovery.
