Hello, I'm Mrs Dwyer and I'm delighted to be back at St John's teaching Raven Class. I can't wait to explore our first History topic of Iron Age to Stone Age and our amazing English texts this year.

Outside of school I love reading, walking and trying hard to learn to knit!

Be ready for learning! In Raven class your child will need to have these items in school: 

• water bottle (no squash or juice) 
• small rucksack (big enough to hold lunch box and reading books) 
• wellington boots (to leave in school) 
• coat (weather appropriate) 

Please don’t bring other items to school, as we do not have space to store them, and it can cause upset if things are lost or damaged.
