Welcome to Blue Class

Hello!

I’m Miss Charles, and I’m really looking forward to teaching Year 2 this year. I studied Education Studies at university before becoming a teacher, and I love making learning creative, exciting, and full of discovery.

I love spending time outdoors and believe that nature is a wonderful classroom. I enjoy finding creative ways to bring the outside in, through exploring the world around us, hands-on activities, and inspiring projects that connect learning to real-life experiences. Reading is another passion of mine, and I aim to help children discover the joy of stories – diving into adventures, imagining new worlds, and connecting with characters they can relate to.

I also love showing children that learning doesn’t just happen at a desk. It can be hands-on, imaginative, and adventurous, helping them explore the world in fun and meaningful ways.

In our classroom, we have a fish tank with fish and shrimp, which the children will help care for. This gives them the chance to learn about responsibility, curiosity, and the natural world.

I’m excited to spend the year with Year 2, helping every child enjoy learning, grow in confidence, and explore their creativity.

Hello, I'm Mrs Bright...

I have the privilege of being the teaching assistant to your children over the course of this year.

I have had the pleasure to work across the Federation as a teaching assistant for eight enjoyable years. I previously worked as a midday supervisor twelve years ago when my children attended, so you can see, these schools are extremely close to my heart.

My ethos is that every child should feel valued, unique and special and it’s my job to help your children develop and grow into these confident and happy children I see developing daily. I work with the children in my class by supporting their learning through daily reading and working with small groups to offer support.

You may also know me from my various clubs such as after school “Lego Club” and “ Bright Star Holiday Camps” on the school premises.

Outside of school, I love going to the theatre and comedy shows with my family. There is nothing better than getting together with my friends and loved ones on a Sunday for a roast too.  You may even see me around the local area, if so please do give me a wave!
