Miss Whittall
Welcome to Cherry Class.
My name is Ms Whittall. I am a Senior Leader and English Lead. I have been teaching for many years and love how varied it is. I enjoy helping and supporting children to learn and grow in confidence.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading and love to be outdoors and active. I enjoy both swimming with my family and cycling with my club.
Spring term – Frozen Kingdoms
In this term’s topic, we will study Frozen Kingdoms. We will learn about the characteristics and features of the Polar regions.including the North and South Poles. We will also explore the environmental factors that shape and influence them. In English, we will read 'Shackleton's Journey' and use this to inspire our writing.
