Year 2a

Year 2a

Our Team

Mrs Miller

I am Key Stage 1 Leader and one of the school’s Assistant Headteachers. I am an experienced teacher with over 20 years of experience in the Foundation stage and Key Stage 1. This is my 15th year at St. Andrew’s. I thoroughly enjoy working at St Andrew’s and the staff team are passionate about developing each child as an individual. In my spare time I enjoy going camping in my camper van and walking my dog, Cooper.

I am looking forward to supporting the children to grow and learn I aim to provide a challenging and enjoyable curriculum. I believe in working in partnership with parents and aim to keep parents well informed about their child’s learning. One way this will happen is through the use of the Class Dojo system. There will also be opportunities throughout the year for parents and carers to come into school to find out what their children have been learning.

Homework 

The children will be bringing home a reading book. We ask that you sit with your child and support them to read this fluently. A second book will be chosen by your child form the school library. This is a reading for pleasure book to share with an adult.

Key Dates to Remember

Your child’s PE lessons will take place on a Tuesday and Wednesday meaning children need to bring in their PE kits every Monday or be left in school. Full PE kit is expected during lessons with pumps that fit in case we decide to work outside and no jewellery is to be worn on this day.
