Welcome to Ash!
Ash class is in the Early Years with the Saplings Class.
We are the Reception children. Our Class Teachers are Mrs Catherine Lawrence and Mrs Faye Linden-McCarron .
Our themes are taken from and based around the children’s interests and fascinations. In this way our learning is fluid and adaptable as we respond immediately to all that happens.
