We have two Year 3 classes at Tudor School. 3T’s class teacher is Miss Gamble and she is assisted by Mrs Hall, Mrs Ahsan, and Mrs Hughes. 3S’s class teacher is Mrs McKenzie and she is assisted by Mrs Higgins.  Ms Smith is our phase leader.

Both classes enjoy two weekly sports sessions on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning. Please ensure pupils have the correct kit in school for these sessions.

Have a look at our current topic overview, which will give you further detail on the areas of study.  Please bear in mind that this is a working document and the plans will be adjusted to suit the children in the class and their interests, as well as adapting and incorporating interesting activities and events as they come up.
