Hello and welcome to EYFS - Acorn Class
Miss Turner - I am an ECT and I am in my second year of teaching. I love teaching early years and being apart of Rillington Primary school. I am very passionate about early years education and how children learn through play, guided by their interest and opportunities. I love to ignite curiosity through a stimulating and enriching environment that provides development and growth.
Autumn is my favourite season. I love to cosy up on the sofa and find a good film, with a cup of hot chocolate! I also love to go on autumn walks through woods and fields. I enjoy spending time outdoors, mostly going for walks but I do like to go shopping with my friends. Lastly, I love food! I like to eat out with my family and friends on a weekend, especially Italian restaurants.
Mrs Grant -I am a trained teacher, with over 20 years experience, and have spent many years working in EYFS. I have always enjoyed the sense of wonder, curiosity and enthusiasm that our Early Years children bring to their own learning.
I joined Rillington School 18 months ago as a Teaching Assistant and have been fortunate to work throughout all the classes.
I adore the strong sense of family and community here at Rillington, something I am proud to be part of as both a mum and a staff member.
I love to spend my spare time exploring new places and new food, discovering England's history and enjoying the great outdoors with my husband, two young boys and our dog Lily.
Laura Widlake - I am very pleased to be part of the wonderful EYFS team at Rillington Primary. Early childhood development is a strong passion of mine. I have a daughter who is currently in Reception, and I really believe it is such an amazing time of a child's life in terms of development- both socially and cognitively! Every day counts and I absolutely love being part of that process and witnessing children reaching their full potential and going beyond that. They are capable of so much and every achievement should be celebrated.
I am a trained primary school teacher from South Africa with nearly 18 years of experience working with children between the ages of 4 and 11.
I am very happy to assist Miss Turner and offer my support in every way I can during the school day.
I look forward to getting to know all of your little ones!
