Miss Green

Year 5 Teacher

I have been a teacher for eight years and love to have a sing and a dance in the classroom to make our learning as fun as possible. My favourite lessons are Art, Maths and Geography. In my free time, I enjoy going for walks and spending time with my family.

Year 5 Teacher

I have been a teacher at Webheath Primary since 2022. My favourite thing about teaching is finding new ways to be creative in all lessons and my favourite lessons are art & PE! When I'm not at school I enjoy spending time with all of my animals - I have a lot of pets!

Mrs Greaves

Specialist Teaching Assistant (Phonics & Reading) / Year 5

I began working at Webheath in 2009 when my own children were still at the school. I find supporting the children with their learning very rewarding, and have spent time with most year groups over the years. On a personal note, you may see me out and about in the local area, either running, walking or cycling. I do enjoy the outdoors!

I have worked within the childcare industry since 2010 and as a teaching assistant since 2019. I love this role and my favourite thing about it is supporting every child to reach their full potential, I love how rewarding the job is and all the relationships that are built within the school. Outside of school I love spending time with my family, reading and swimming.

Reading: In KS2 we use the Accelerated Reader Computer Program to develop, manage and monitor children’s reading skills.  The children pick a book within their own ZPD range and read it at their own pace.  We allocate at least 15 minutes a day to reading their book. When finished, they will take a short quiz online in school – this helps to home in on their reading skills and give an indication that they understood what has been read. AR gives both children and teachers feedback on the children’s understanding and reading habits which the teacher then uses to help the children set targets and ongoing reading practice to ensure personal growth.

Daily ‘Book Club’ is also timetabled.  This provides opportunities for the children to work in small groups with an adult to develop reading skills and build a love of reading, and it gives an opportunity to read books of choice for pleasure.

We use high quality text to deliver our English Curriculum and focused reading lessons are taught within a sequence of learning.
