I have been teaching since 2003 having studied for a degree in Art/History.
My passion is teaching and learning. I love Reading, Maths, Music and Art. Most of all I enjoy seeing the children believe in themselves, showing the fruits of all their dedication and hard work! Outside of school, I have 3 children and a crazy cat! I love playing guitar in my band and songwriting.

I have been working at Webheath since 2002, and during this time I have worked in most year groups. I find it very rewarding being able to help and support the children with their learning. Out of school I love spending  time with my family and friends.

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.
