Miss Lee
Miss Lee is the Kestrels Class Teacher, she also looks after PE in the school.
How we like to learn
In Kestrels, we learn through discussions taking it in turns to listen to one another’s opinion. We use various pieces of equipment and resources to support us in our learning process as well as drawing diagrams to explain. We are always working with our partners supporting each other during class activities. Our big focus as a class is sharing kindness and we do this a lot during our learning process by sharing ideas and helping each other to check our work.
