Feedback from Year 3 parents
| ‘I really enjoyed doing DT with both girls. It was great to see their ideas and how much they enjoyed doing this work, I saw them sharing materials and helping other children in class.’ |
| ‘Enjoyed helping learn practical skills like cutting with scissors and threading needles. The camera was good to show close up work to the class when treading. Very modern.’ |
| ‘Thank you. It’s good to see how Miss Hellewell directs and conducts her class. There is so many distractions and the countdown works well. My son needs to keep focused and try not to be distracted, this is hard as there is naturally children talking. Valuable experience. The maths bingo is excellent, I really enjoyed it. Thank you.’ |
| ‘Lots of engaged and active activity. Pupils aware of systems and respond very quickly and positively. Great enthusiasm over bingo. Class actively doing basic multiplication, division and extended multiplication – pupils loving the challenge. Miss H very good at extracting answers related to other areas – mathematical terms. Very fast paced and great engagement and learning going on in 3HE. Wonderful to see.’ |
| ‘Really enjoyed my time in class today. All the children were busy and focused. Bingo was fun and a great way to challenge mathematical thinking.’ |
| ‘Had a really good time seeing my daughters in class today working on her project. Looking forward to seeing her finished decoration. The class has been very well led, all children’s questions were answered, no question dismissed but answered with respect to the children. It has been a pleasure to come in and see her working in class.’ |
| ‘A much noticed step up from Year 2. The class are much more interactive and patient. When creating the Christmas decoration, none of the children saw this as a competition or with any sort of rivalry (as seen in Year 2). Personally I was comfortable and at ease with my daughter’s diabetes care throughout class, no disturbance or distraction for the lesson and she took this in her stride. Very proud and happy with the Year 3 structure and look forward to any progress.’ |
| ‘I enjoyed the session, thank you.’ |
