Chestnut Class consists of 22 hard working, successful Year 1 children. Our teaching team this year is Mrs Jefferies and Mrs Davies.
We are a busy class who enjoy learning inside and outside. We do lots of practical, creative work and get really ‘hands-on’, relishing the chance to investigate. In Chestnut Class we are engineers, inventors, scientists, mathematicians, artists, musicians and authors to name a few! We consistently try our best and build each other up. We are not afraid to make mistakes. We help each other to reach our full potential and to enjoy our time at Trinity. We really are one big ‘Chestnut Team’.
