Welcome to Year 3 – Blossom Class

"Every child is a different kind of flower and all together they make this world a beautiful garden."

My name is Miss Wadsworth and I will be teaching Year 3 along with Miss Ward. We will be there to guide, support and nurture all 19 pupils in Blossom Class this year. We cannot wait to watch the children grow in a classroom buzzing with fantastic ideas, lots of laughter and great friendships.

Blossom have an exciting year ahead! We will be joining Paddington on his journey from deepest, darkest Peru to London; digging up the past to understand how people used to live in our Stone Age to Iron age topic; investigating how the Roman Empire shaped Britain; researching how to keep our minds and bodies healthy; exploring the local area taking a particular interest in the physical features of the river Spodden; learning different swimming strokes at Whitworth leisure centre and so much more! Each child should have received a Paddington book for the summer holidays, please can you ensure this in brought back in September as we will be using it for our English topic, thank you!

The happiness and safety of your child is very important to me, if you ever have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me via my staff email ewadsworth@olsa.lancs.sch.uk
