Class Blog
I am Miss Smith and I have been working at Waterside since I was a Student Teacher in 2016. This is my 8th year as a Class Teacher and I've been lucky enough to work across Year 2, 3 and 4 whilst at the school. My favourite subject is Writing and I am currently Subject Lead for Writing, Spelling and Grammar.
I am Mrs Myatt, this is my third year working at Waterside as a Teaching Assistant. I like spending time with my family and look forward to working in Year 3.
I am Miss Mugasa, I have been a Learning Support Assistant for 2 years supporting children with SEND in the classroom. I enjoy being creative in my spare time and look forward to utilising this in the classroom.
