Welcome

Mrs Dobson
Meet your teacher
I enjoy anything to do with Maths, Music or History and I love learning new information and facts.
I enjoy teaching all subjects in year 5/6 but I especially enjoy the more challenging maths. We have some great units planned for you and we are very excited to teach them. We hope you will enjoy them as much as we will.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family. I have two daughters called Bella and Betsy, two dogs called Bronte and Bailey and two guinea pigs called Bear and BaaBaa. Yes they are all ‘B’ names! I also play in a brass band called Barnsley Brass. I’m sure you’ve seen me at Christmas time!
Meet your Teaching Assistant
Miss Barker
Hello! My name is Miss Barker and I’m looking forward to beginning this new year with you all.
I have two daughters and we spend most of our time singing and dancing (even though I can’t do either!) Our favourite place to be is at the seaside, building sandcastles and playing in the sea.
My favourite subject is maths. I love solving problems based on fractions and algebra and I can’t wait to show you how fun maths can be! I can’t wait to see all of your smiling faces and hear about all of the wonderful adventures you have been on. I am very excited to meet all of you so we can have lots of fun learning together.
