Hello! I am Mrs Rayner and I am delighted to be teaching Raven class this year. Here’s a fun fact: ravens are one of the world’s most intelligent and playful birds. They are also shrouded in mystery – how wonderful!

A little about me, I adore teaching! Despite enjoying teaching many subjects, reading, writing and history are my favourites.

I am excited to be leading Writing at St John’s this year. My goal is to show as many children as possible that there is a writer inside us all and to ignite their writing passion. In addition to writing, I am also leading History. It can be so much fun diving into the past and exploring how our ancestors lived.

In my spare time I love to read, take my dogs on a long walk and ride my bike.

 

Other staff working in our class are:

Miss Barden – Teaching Assistant

Miss Walker – Third Teacher

Mrs Woodward - Cover Teacher

Be ready for learning! In Raven class your child will need to have these items in school: 

• PE kit (to be worn on Thursdays) 
• Water bottle (no squash or juice) 
• Small rucksack (big enough to hold lunchbox and reading books) 
• Wellington boots (to leave in school) 
• Coat (weather appropriate) 

Please don’t bring other items into school, as we do not have space to store these, and it can cause upset if things are lost or damaged.
