Y5 - Miss Eastwood 2021 - 2022

Miss Eastwood

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. We will both 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!

We're really looking forward to welcoming you back in September. When coming into school, remember to walk down the pedestrian path, cross at the zebra crossing and wave goodbye as you walk down to path and onto the Junior playground. Here is a short video that will help you with how to walk into school.

Contacting the Class Teacher

Due to social distancing restrictions, teachers are unable to meet face to face unless meetings have been scheduled. Please use the class emails if you wish to contact the class teacher. If your concern is urgent, please contact the school office and they will pass the message on to the class teacher.

This half term, PE lessons will usually take place on a Thursday but please make sure your PE kit is in school at the beginning of every half term and stays in school.

All pieces of clothing, including school uniform and shoes must be named.

Water bottles

Please bring a clear, named reusable water bottle to school everyday. This should contain water and can be refilled if needed during the day.
