Class teacher – Mrs Ellis

Hello! I am delighted to be your teacher this year. I thought I’d share a little bit about myself so you can get to know me better. I am married and have three lovely daughters called Maria, Naomi, and Olivia. Our family also includes two very mischievous cats, Stormy and Toffee, who are often “grounded” for bringing home little surprises we definitely did not ask for!

A fun fact about me is that I lived in Germany for 15 years and can speak German. 

When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with my family. Our home is always full of music, drama, creativity, and laughter, which is why I enjoy those subjects so much at school too! 

PE days:

Tuesday & Wednesday – on these days, children should wear their PE kit to school.

Homework expectations:

Homework is set on Fridays and should be returned by Thursday each week.

Children are also expected to read for 10 minutes every day and regularly practise their weekly spellings and maths facts. Daily practice makes a huge difference to children’s confidence and progress, and your support at home is greatly appreciated.

Homework 15/5/26:

Our new topic for the next half-term is The Romans.

This week’s homework is to research some fun facts about the Romans.

Our spelling focus is Challenge words. Please use the homework spelling activity worksheet to help your child learn these words.

Your child’s next maths facts test is listed on the spelling sheet, so please practise these facts regularly as well.

Remember to read each day and record this in your child’s reading record.
