Miss Wheatley - Class Teacher
Hello! My name is Miss Wheatley and I have the best job as Year 5 teacher. Enquiry is my favourite subject as it opens up the opportunity to explore different aspects of the world within Geography. Likewise, history allows children to explore past events and the impact they have on us today.
‘Pig Heart Boy’ by Malorie Blackman is my favourite book as it promotes the idea that we are all unique and inspirational in our own way. It also focuses on how young people feel about getting ready for secondary school, with a particular emphasis on relationships, friendships and changes within ourselves.
I am a qualified dance teacher, teaching a variety of styles of dance. I love walking at the weekends with my friends; we challenge ourselves to achieve new peaks. For example, in the summer holidays I climbed Hellvelyn which is one of the tallest peaks in England.
Mr Chambers
I'm Mr Chambers and I'm a TA mainly working in year 5 and 6. My big interests are PE and Maths. I enjoy these because I like to be outside in the fresh air doing things I enjoy, like football and basketball. My favourite book at school was the Captain Underpants books because there was always something going on and it would let your imagination run free.
Miss Sprukte
My name is Miss Sprukte, but children and staff call me Miss S. I am the teaching assistant in Year 5 this year. My favourite subject in school is P.E because it benefits us in so many ways - keeps our bodies and minds healthy! My favourite book is The Runaway Pea by Kjartan Poskitt. At home, I enjoy spending as much time outdoors as possible by going on long walks/hikes and watching my children - Mason and Esmee partake in their sporting events!
Mrs Brown
My name is Mrs Brown and I am the teaching assistant in year 5 and 6 , I also spend time in other years supporting children with their emotional wellbeing. My favourite subject is art; I love drawing and painting and exploring the different techniques artists use. My favourite book is 'the book thief' by Markus Zusak. When I'm at home I love to spend time with my children. Most weekends are taken over by football which is something we love. I also enjoy going on walks with my 2 springer spaniels Benny and Ruby.
