Year 1 and 2 2021 - 2022

Miss Raymond

This is my tenth year teaching at St Joseph's and I feel very excited about continuing as KS1/ EYFS Lead this year. Alongside this role I will continue to lead English and Pupil Premium. Outside school, I enjoy running, playing piano and guitar, playing tennis and reading. I also love to spend time with my family and friends.

Mr Ellam

Hi and welcome to Mr Ellam's class!

I am delighted to be teaching Year 2 again this year. I first joined the St. Joseph's family permanently in January 2019, but I did do some supply teaching here before that!
As well as teaching Year 2, I am also responsible for Computing within school.

Outside of school, I love the outdoors - something that I get to take advantage of, in my role as a Scout leader. I enjoy reading and watching Crewe Alexandra (sometimes!)

Mrs Bingham

Hello everybody and welcome to Year 1/2!

I am Mrs Bingham and I am very excited to be moving to Key Stage 1 this year and into the Year 1/2 class. This will be my fourth year of teaching and I am looking forward to embarking on a new learning journey together. We have a very busy and very exciting year ahead, with lots of amazing things to learn and fantastic adventures to look forward to. I am eager to experience all of these wonderful things with you this year.

Outside of school I enjoy ice skating, which I have done since I was a child. I now often help to teach younger children how to do this and assist with a local club ice show every year! I also enjoy baking and spending time with my family whenever I can.

Welcome to the Year 1/2 team -

We're looking forward to a busy half term and starting our new topic Where is the Naughty Bus Going to Take Us? We will be learning all about our local area and how to use and create our own maps! The children will enjoy finding out about the artist Piet Mondrian and the composer Henry Purcel.

A weekly timetable of homework will be set and glued into children's planners each Monday with an activity on Teams, Spelling Shed, and My Maths or TT Rockstars. Children are expected to read at home with an adult at least twice each week (included in Homework Timetable) and books will be changed twice a week on a Thursday and a Monday. Thankyou for your help and support with your chilld's learning.

As always, we are all here to help and if you have any questions or would like to speak to a member of the teaching team please contact school using the admin email address.
