Welcome to the Hawkstone Class page and the start of an exciting new school year! We kicked off on Wednesday, with the children spending the rest of the week getting to know one another, sharing stories about their summer holidays, and settling into the classroom routine.

This year promises to be full of exciting opportunities, with engaging activities, trips, sporting events, and a rich, diverse curriculum to look forward to. We can’t wait to see what this year brings! Please visit our class page for the latest updates and photos showcasing the work we’ve been doing.

If you have any questions or need to reach me, feel free to contact me through Class Dojo. This week, we’ll be sharing the class newsletter and curriculum map, which will include all the key information for the Autumn term.
