Welcome to United States of America Class

United States of America is a Key Stage 3 Investigator class.  Our timetable includes English, Maths, Reading, as well as a range of other curricular subjects - please see the attached timetable.  We encourage all learners to develop their communication skills so that they are better able to recognise and name different emotions.  This will then enable them to express their feelings so that appropriate support can be offered.  We also encourage learners to take an increasingly independent approach to their learning by allowing them to freely access support resources around the classroom.  In United States of America, we all care for each other and demonstrate the values of respect, care and co-operation daily.  We work hard to ensure all members of our class feel safe, happy and special.
