Reception

We are Acorns Class and Conkers Class.

ACORNS CLASS

Acorns Class is taught by Mrs Dowthwaite Monday to Thursday AM and Mrs Pampin Thursday PM to Friday.

 

      

Mrs Dowthwaite’s favourite animal is a sheep - they are rather like clouds with legs.  Her favourite season is Spring as there is simply nothing more lovely than seeing little lambs being born and springing around! She is also very fond of dogs, which is a good job as she has four - three beagles and a bocker puppy named Bailey Bailey Bailey (yes, he needs to hear his name three times before he answers!)
Her fave ice cream flavour is pistachio, and hobbies include cold sea swimming (followed by a sauna and hot chocolate!), travel and reading two or more books at once if possible! 
 

Our support staff are called Mrs Willis and Mrs Miller. 

The best word to describe them as a team is exceptional. 

 

In Acorns Class we really enjoy stories and singing.  If we can sneak a few minutes of free time and free choice to learn, love or laugh together you will find us involved with a funny story.                                     

 

We read so many books but some of our favourites are anything by Dr Suess and A Squash and A Squeeze by Julia Donaldson .

Conkers

Conkers Class is taught by Miss Fallesen. 

Miss Fallesen's favourite animal is an elephant (she was lucky enough to see some elephants in the wild in South Africa). 

Her favourite ice cream is mint chocolate chip and her all time favourite food is cheese! 

Her hobbies are rock climbing (especially with Mrs Benko-Robbins), yoga, paddle boarding or anything that involves being outside.      

                        

She has been teaching for 11 years and her favourite thing about teaching is having lots of fun in the class and being a bit silly too! 

Our support staff are called Mrs Willis, Mrs Derham and Mrs Allen.

The best word to describe them as a team is incredible! 

In Conkers Class we really enjoy reading lots of different stories. We particulary love reading the Supertato stories...especially as we had our very own Evil Pea causing lots of trouble at Sandford! Here is our the crime scene....   

We read so many books in Bay Class but some of our favourites are anything by Julia Donaldson (Miss Fallesen loves to act these out too), Dirty Bertie books, and anything that means we can be a little silly when we read. 

If we can sneak a few minutes of free time and free choice  to learn, love or laugh together you will find us exploring nature, doing some Stormbreaks or having a boogie to Disney songs!                                 

 

The thing Miss Fallesen loves best about Sandford St Martin's is how much fun we have together!
