Life in Badgers Class
Badgers class is where children build on their learning using core skills of reading, writing and basic maths. They apply these skills in increasingly independent and sophisticated ways, learning to choose partners who will inspire and challenge them. As a result, they work together supportively and present themselves with confidence and flair.
By the time they go up to Kestrels, they are independent, inquisitive and sophisticated problem-solvers with a firm grasp of the basics and the skills to direct themselves effectively across the whole curriculum.
Meet the Class Teachers:
I am Marianne.
I’m James. I love teaching Badgers class. The children are endlessly inventive, and rarely a day goes by where we haven’t found a new and exciting way to learn something. The constant surprises and delights are what makes teaching a joy.
Meet the Teaching Assistants:
I am Gayle Stephenson. I was particularly drawn to Danehill as I find the Enlivened approach very exciting and I am eager to see the children develop their learning and characters in an inspiring and natural environment.
I am Tiffany Brown. I work part of the week as a Teaching Assistant in Badgers class. I work with the Badgers team to create a learning environment that can be accessed by all children.
I am Pedro Carreira. I am a HLTA and I teach PE and Spanish across the school. I also run the very popular After-School Clubs, for more information, click on this After-School Clubs link.
