Welcome to Hedgehogs

Hello and welcome to Hedgehogs class page, one of the three Key Stage 1 classes. I am Mrs Durham, the Hedgehogs class teacher and Key Stage 1 Phase Leader. I am also responsible for the learning of pupil premium pupils at Rose Hill Primary School (more information about this can be found in the ‘Pupil Premium’ section of the website under the ‘Inclusion’ tab).

I have been teaching at Rose Hill for 5 years, although this is my first in KS1! Everyone that knows me will know that my favourite three things are reading, chocolate and the Lion King! At university I studied the teaching of English to KS2/3 so I have also experienced teaching in secondary school. I absolutely love talking about books so if you are ever reading a book that you think I would love, please come and find me in Hedgehogs classroom to share it!
