Meet your teacher
Hello! I’m Ms Woodcock
I’m delighted to be returning to my roots as an Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) teacher! With many years of teaching experience and my current role as SENDCo at Aston Hall, I’m passionate about supporting every child to thrive and grow in a nurturing, creative environment.
I have two wonderful grown-up children, aged 22 and 19, and a very pampered pooch named Bella who keeps me on my toes! Outside of school, I’m a big fan of rugby (especially Joe Marler!) and I absolutely love all things art and creative learning.
I’m so excited to begin this new chapter with our youngest learners—EYFS is where the magic really begins, and I can’t wait to share in their joy, curiosity, and imagination.
Meet your Teaching Assistants
Mrs Rodgers
Hi everyone, I’m Mrs Rodgers and my role is Teaching Assistant at the school.
I have worked in the school since September 2013, initially as a lunchtime assistant, when my daughter started at school in FS2. Proving that age is no barrier, I completed a Level 3 Teaching Assistant Apprenticeship between October 2020 and May 22. I currently work in FS2 and love helping the children to grow and reach their potential.
My interests away from work include spending time with my family and playing football.
Mrs James
Being a level 3 teaching assistant in EYFS is so much fun, I love to help and support the children to blossom and celebrate their individual achievements as they move through the year. My role includes focusing on speech and communication, working both 1-1 and in groups with many children. I regularly cover for the teachers if they are out of the classroom.
Most of my thirteen years at Aston Hall have been spent in EYFS, with a couple of years in KS1. I am in a privileged position to have worked with most of the children in the school.
Outside of school I enjoy cooking and baking bread, keeping fit by going to the gym and walking. My family and I also enjoy visiting the theatre and going to Cornwall on holiday.
Areas of Learning
Autumn Term
Autumn Term Learning Questions: ‘Who lives in the Woods?’ and ‘Can you take care of me?’ In the Autumn term we will cover autumnal changes, nocturnal animals and people who help us. At the end of this term, the children will also take part in a Nativity Performance.
Spring Term
Spring Term Learning Questions: ‘Can you read me a Story?’ and ‘Who is your Hero?’ During this term children will learn traditional tales/fairytales and children will explore what makes a super hero, not all heroes wear capes!
Summer Term
Summer Term Learning Questions: ‘Do Cows drink Milk?’ and ‘Who lives in the Sea?’ During the Summer term children will learn about farmyard animal life cycles and may see this with their own eyes when we have some special little visitors! Children will also learn all about the seaside and sea creatures and will enjoy a school trip to Cleethorpes.
Useful Information
During your time in Foundation, you will meet lots of new friends, learn new skills and grow in confidence!
The children will be spending the first weeks becoming familiar with the environment and building relationships with staff and children.
Staff will be working with children to get to know them and observing them in all areas of the setting as part of the baseline assessments.
At Aston Hall we all enjoy doing our learning together, both in the classroom and outdoors.
