RAINBOW

Mrs Ward

Favourite Subject: I'm really struggling to

pick just one thing but I do really love the

'awe and wonder' children experience during

Science!

​

Favourite Book: Each Peach Pear Plum by

Janet and Alan Ahlberg. I must have read it

over a hundred times since my children have

been born. 

​

Favourite Author: I mean come on it's got to be Julia Donaldson right...she's a legend!

​

Favourite Song: Happy by Pharell Williams - It's one of those songs where you just can't stop yourself from smiling when you hear it.

​

Hobbies: Out of school I'm pretty much a chauffeur to 3 sporty teens. If I'm not spectating at a tumbling comp, it will be a netball match or CrossFit box or rowing regatta. When I do get a spare minute, I absolutely love reading - from cookery books, to the latest research in childhood development. Did you know Mrs Dyson is an author - I have read all 3 of her books and can't wait for more!

​

Mrs Bond

 

Favourite Subject: I love teaching Music

but my favourite subject is History.

Finding out about the past using different

sources as clues can be exciting.

​

Favourite Book: My favourite book has always

been The Tiger Who Came to tea. Both my

daughters love reading this with me.

​

Favourite Author: Judith Kerr

​

Favourite Song: TBC

​

Hobbies: I like to play musical instruments as a performer, in concert or below the stage at the theatre. I love to cook and am a keen baker - though still searching for the perfect chocolate cake recipe!

​

Mrs Cooper

​

Favourite Book: Peace at last

(large family series by Jill Murphy)

one song but I do love Ed Sheeran!

Mrs Longstaff

​

Favourite Subject: PE! I love being able to

get outside and play fun, different sporting

activities. PE allows you to teach lots of

other subjects too, like counting in Maths.

 

Favourite Book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

I love how colourful it is with lots of

repetition and rhyme – my little boy also

enjoys retelling the story to me too!

​

Favourite Author: It’s a hat trick for Julia Donaldson! I read all her stories to my little boy and girl at home.

​

Favourite Song: Mr Brightside by The Killers. This song is so infectious and always makes everyone sing and smile!

​

Hobbies: I love animals and like to walk my Labrador, Cooper (he’s a big dog, so has to exercise a lot!). I like to run most days and I even don’t mind running in the rain too! My secret hobby is my love of learning about sharks! The rest of my time is spent with my two children – taking them to different sporting activities (my little boy goes skiing, swimming, competes in go-kart racing and plays football on a weekend. My little girl goes to gymnastics and swimming).

 

Mr Davison

​

Favourite Subject: No question - Geography!

There’s so much to see and understand in our

world. Geography just gives you itchy feet

every day to go and see it.

 

Favourite Book: Peter Pan…Where’s Neverland.

“Second star to the right and straight on till

morning!” Could any line get your imagination

going more?!

​

Favourite Author: I'm with Mrs Ward on this one! Julia Donaldson every time!

​

Favourite Song: Ain't no mountain high enough! That song just makes me want to dance around the room and throw shapes.

​

Hobbies: Walking my two dogs and trying to master the perfect cup of tea! It's a hobby but it's essential work as well- any tips? Let me know.

​

Mrs Devlin

 

Favourite Subject: My favourite subject has

got to be music - I loved it when I was at

school and enjoy watching the children

exploring music now!

 

Favourite Book: The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

Loved to read this to my own children and

the discussions it brought about how things

change.

 

Favourite Author: As a child my favourite author was Enid Blyton. I was often in trouble with my mum for reading by torch light.

 

Favourite Song: I cannot pick just one as I love lots of different music!

 

Hobbies: I enjoy reading, live music, walking our three dogs, spending time at our caravan and jewellery making.

In UFS we provide a safe, nurturing and creative environment where your children can flourish and grow into independent young learners, ready for the next stage of their school journey.

We are proud to have produced an environment in which children can thrive in their learning with plentiful activities on offer, carefully designed to promote discovery and application of skills in an exciting way linked to our topics. Our indoor and outdoor provision areas are well-resourced and facilitate the children in directing their own learning through play.
