I’ve been teaching at Greyfriars since moving to the area with my family in 2007. I currently teach in year 3 and oversee the planning and teaching of Religious Education within the school. My classroom is a happy place, where all children are accepted, cared for and enjoy learning. Outside school, I enjoy running, feeding lots of people, and am also involved with The Gateway Church.

Computing – Last week, some of you began to look at a coding programme called ‘Light Bots’. Unfortunately, as flash player has ended, most of you wouldn’t have been able to access this. I do apologise for this! On a positive note, we have a different coding programme that the children can try at home called ‘Erase All Kittens’. It is a coding game where children have to think about how they can save as many cats as possible with the power of code. You can easily create your own account free of charge and begin your adventure straight away!
