Brief Outline and my Interests
I have taught at Chalford Hill for 4 years. My first year was in Year 2 and the past 3 years have been in Reception.

I enjoy all creative activities in school such as drama, painting and drawing and I also enjoy P.E., particularly ball games and parachute games.

I am a subject leader for geography and cross curricular teaching and learning.

I teach 6 areas of learning in the Foundation stage:
Personal, Social and Emotional development, Communication Language and Literacy, Mathematical development, Physical development, Creative development and Knowledge and Understanding of the World.

I teach all 6 subjects through a theme and we enjoy learning inside and outside.
