Blue Spruce

Our Year 3 and 4 children make up the Blue Spruce class. For our Year 3 pupils, this is an important time as they move into Key Stage 2. In Blue Spruce, children begin to take more responsibility for their learning and develop a greater sense of independence.

• PE is on Tuesday afternoon, please make sure your child has indoor and outdoor PE kit in school on that day,
