Welcome to Luna Class!

We are the Foundation Stage Class. We have two teachers Mrs Solomons who works on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Mrs Lloyd who works on a Thursday and Friday.

We are very lucky to have Mrs Marszal and Mrs Whitmarsh who all work in Luna class to support the children in their learning.

Each term we will be learning a new topic. You will be given an overview which shows you what your child will be learning each week.
