Welcome to Year 3 everyone!

As a class we discussed what rules we would like to follow in our classroom. Here is what we came up with:

1. We will respect each other and any adults that we work with.
2. We won't bully others. If we see someone being bullied, we must tell an adult or if we see someone being left out, we will ask them to join us.
3. We will always be kind to each other.
4. We will always put our hand up if we need to go to the toilet, to ask a question or to answer a question.
5. We will not kick underneath the tables. We will keep our feet still and flat underneath the table. We will keep our hands and feet safe at all times.

Red Deer it has been a fantasic year and I would like to thank you all for your hard work! Well done and WOW!

Thank you also for the support I have received from all the parents in Red Deer across the year.

Calling all Pirates!

Thursday 7th May is Pirate Day.

We are taking over the hall and sailing away with History off the Page.

To get into the spirit of the day dressing as a pirate would be exciting.  Nothing too elaborate is needed, a stripy t-shirt and baggy trousers will look very piratey.

Accessories might include: eye patch, cutlass, sash, hook etc.

We all have pirate hats in school but if you already have one at home please feel free to bring it in.
