Cherry Class (Reception and Year 1) Mrs Bates
Welcome to Cherry Class where we love to learn through play and exploration. We learn inside and outside about all sorts of fascinating things, from bugs to number bonds. We all try our best and understand that sometimes when we are learning it can be a bit tricky, but we must persevere. Most of all, we like to have fun together!
