Miss Hutchinson
Hi everyone, I am Miss Hutchinson. I already know lots of you from FS1 or FS2 and can’t wait for you to be in my class again! I have been part of Monkwood for the last 2 years and I love it here.
I am loving spending my spare time being a mummy to my little boy, Luca. At home we love singing, dancing and doing lots of craft. I am sure we will get lots of time to do this at school too.
Don’t be nervous about moving to year 1, we are going to have a great time!
miss driver
Hi boys and girls I am Mrs Driver and I cannot wait to be part of your learning journey in Year 1!
We are going to have so much fun!
My favourite things to do are spending time with my three children, taking them on lots of fun adventures and making amazing memories.

Class Information
The school day starts at 8.45am and ends at 3.15pm. We read every week so your child will need their book bag every day. Your child will read their new book with an adult and then this needs to be read at home in order to consolidate learning. All the books are phonetically decodable, the children move colour bands as their phonics improves.
We will communicate with you through Class Dojo and let you know PE days at a later date. Your child will need a water bottle in class every day, whatever the weather.

- Rawmarsh local area
