Year 4 Hazel 2023-2024
Term 3 Hazel Class In Year 4, Term 3, we have recently been learning about rainforests and persuasive letters, which we have linked together. Our persuasive letters that we write are going to be sent to our Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak. In guided reading lessons, we have read and enjoyed The Firework Maker’s Daughter by Phillip Pullman and we all loved it very much. Our author of the term is Anthony Browne. We have listened to many of his books in story time. We have really enjoyed our rainforest topic, particularly and have been fascinated by facts about deforestation, especially around orangutans and how they are endangered. By Adora, Vania and Janiah

I am Mrs Burton and I am thrilled to be working at Holy Cross in Hazel Class this year. I’ve been teaching and working in education for nearly 20 years and it is my passion to help children to grow and learn.

I live with my husband, my little boy and my two precious Siamese cats who are called Melody and Aya. Melody is nearly 14 years old and likes to carry cuddly toys around my house! Spending time with my family is very important to me; I have lots of nephews and nieces who I adore.

Music is my absolute favourite thing in life. I love to play the piano, flute, saxophone, clarinet, oboe and recorders and you can sometimes find me in the orchestra pit at The Wyvern Theatre playing for shows. I look forward to sharing my love of music with the children here! Watch out for me singing a lot…

At school, I particularly enjoy teaching English, music, French, history and geography. I hope to make learning fun for the children I teach. Working together with my class, I just know we are going to have a fantastic year!
