Meet your teacher
Hello and welcome to Olive class! My name is Miss Wakenshaw and I will be your year 4 teacher this year. I recently competed some of my training at Brinsworth so I am feeling very lucky to be welcomed back to teach here! I am looking forward to getting to know everyone in Olive class, helping you all to learn new, exciting things and support you through your primary school journey. I love to learn too, so I ai to make your learning journey exciting and thought provoking! I can’t wait to be inspired by all your curiosity and ideas. When I am not at school, I love to travel and experience new cultures. Some of my favourite places are Greece and Switzerland. I particularly enjoy trying new things whether that’s experiences, food, music, language or reading a new book. My current favouirte hobbies are watercoolour painting, reading, learning German and walking in the sunshine with my dog – Sandy. I can’t wait to be your teacher. I am sure we will have a fantastic year!
