Hello from Mrs Simmonds
Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a Paediatric Cardiac Nurse Specialist at the Evelina London Children’s Hospital for almost 15 years. I have 2 children aged 10 and 12, and a black Labrador called Isla. I love walking and go home to the the Lake District often, as my son and I are walking our way through the Wainwrights! | |||||

Latest Class Updates from Orange Class
We are beginning our final unit in science- Animals including Humans! We learned the human life cycle and delved deeper into how children change. We measured the feet of a child from each class to see how much growing we do before adolescence.
In English, we have been reading the book LOOK UP! This story is all about a little girl who aspires to be an astronaut like her hero Mae Jemison- the first African American woman in space. This compliments our significant people unit in history where we understand what makes someone significant. We created persuasive flyers to come to a meteor shower and biographies about famous astronauts- Tim Peake and Mae Jemison.
In history, we have been looking at Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. This week, we wrote formal letters to the people back in England to ask for things to get the soldiers better in Crimea.
