Y5 - Miss Eastwood 2021 - 2022

Welcome 

My name is Miss Eastwood and I joined Northway in September 2021. Before I joined our school, I taught in Sheffield, where I'm from. I am very excited to meet everyone and start our learning journey together in Year 5! Our class will also be supported by Mr Ray and Mrs Hewitt. We will be here to help you in whatever way we can and we are always here to listen! Before I started my teaching career, I studied fashion at university as I love being creative. I am responsible for Design & Technology across the school and I can't wait to see all the brillian work you create this year!

I hope you enjoy looking at our page and all the exciting things we have been up to!

This half term, our PE lessons will be on Thursday.
