Walnut Class

Welcome to Walnut class! We have 10 primary aged pupils in our class. We have regular phonics, English, maths and topic lessons as well as learning through play and exploration. Furthermore, we enjoy our weekly food technology lessons where we learn and develop the skills to make a range of foods and tasty snacks.

We also spend a lot of time developing our emotional intelligence, learning a range of strategies to self-regulate and understand the emotions we feel.

I am the class teacher in Walnut class and joined The Mendip School in September of 2024. I have a passion for working with children and young people and love the busy nature of the school. In my free time you can find me on the golf course or with my local church.

Hi I’m Hannah. I have been working at TMS since January 2024 and I love it. I love playing with the children and helping them with their learning. When I’m not at school I love being with my family, riding horses, and practicing my circus skills on the aerial silks.
