Year 1

Welcome from Miss Barker!

Hello and welcome to the Year 1 Class Page!

I am Miss Barker and I am the Year 1 teacher at Shobnall Primary & Nursery School. I am passionate about teaching and learning and I enjoy teaching the curriculum in a creative and engaging way. I aim to create a positive learning environment where children feel inspired and in love with their learning. 

Mrs Jamil, Mrs Shannon, Mrs Traczyk and Mr Attwood will also be working with us this year!
