‘Working Together for Excellence’
Year 5
Year 5 parents meeting presentation
My name is Mrs Boorer. I have been working alongside the Weyford team for nearly four years. My time at Weyford started as a volunteer, it was then that I realised becoming a Teaching Assistant was definitely for me, I haven’t looked back. I have three children (all boys) who has a keen passion for fishing, horse riding and football. My hobbies include spending time down my families yard as I too love being around the horses. I enjoy spending time with all my family and friends and taking our dog on lots of walks. I am really looking forward to September to seeing all the children again and watching them grow even more.
Hello! I’m Mrs Brown and I am really looking forward to being your Teaching Assistant again this year. I have been at Weyford Nursery and Primary School for 16 years and have worked in Years 2, 3, 4 and 5. I live at home with my husband and 2 of my 3 grown up children. I also share my home with a Westie, a rabbit, a tortoise, 3 gerbils, a hamster and lots of fish. As you can tell, we all love our animals! In my spare time I love baking and cake decorating, reading books (especially ones based on real life) and playing board games with my family. I can’t wait to start our Year 5 journey together in September.

Hello My name is Mrs Darling. I am looking forward to being the Teaching Assistant in Heron and having an exciting year. I have been in Weyford since 2001 and I have worked with Year 5 and Year 6 for 16 years. Born on a small farm in Ireland I love animals and being outdoors. I have one sister. I went to a boarding school for 6 years and enjoyed all sports. I hold the school record for the 800 metres. Before moving to England, I worked in a hotel and a large exhibition centre. I married Geoff, who was a captain in the Merchant Navy, and I did several trips with him. The most exciting being going through Panama Canal. We have one daughter, Carol, who is an urban designer. Outside school, I am a Brownie Leader with 3rd Bordon Brownies in Whitehill and a qualified Girlguiding Trainer, training leaders so they can be inspired with new ideas for their girls. I was lucky to be awarded the County Gold award for my services to Girlguiding. Art, gardening and walking are my hobbies. I love to display your work in exciting and imaginative ways. My goal for next year is for everyone in my class to have fun and learn lots.
Hello, I am Mrs Telford and I have taught at Weyford since February 2017. I came in to help year 6 with SATs and I enjoyed teaching here so much that I stayed. Although I am the mathematics manager I enjoy teaching the other subjects, particularly history because I am interested in finding out about what happened in the past. My hobbies outside school include reading, cooking recreational cricket and taking my dog for a walk along the beach, near to where I live. I love working with children and particularly like it when they have a lightbulb moment during their learning. I and am passionate about raising standards and being part of the team that drives our school forward.

In Science today we have been finding out about soluble and insoluble materials. Something that dissolves is soluble, that means that when it is mixed with water, it cannot be seen, although it is still in the water. We made it a fair test by making sure we used the same amount of water and the same amount of each material.
