Year 2 2024 - 2025

Miss Roberts 2DR

Hi! I am Miss Roberts, and I lead KS1. This will be my seventh year teaching at Woodlands Primary School, and I am so excited for another great year at such a fantastic school.
I am passionate about teaching all subjects but I particularly enjoy physical education. I believe that physical activity should be at the heart of all learning in order to promote our personal and academic development.
Mathematics is another favourite subject of mine and I currently lead the subject across our school. Maths should be engaging and fun, and I love helping children develop their confidence and ability in answering arithmetic problems, so that they enjoy the subject as much as I do!
When I am not in school, I like to keep myself busy with exercise. I also enjoy travelling to new cities and countries, and spending time with my family and friends.
I can’t wait to begin our learning journey together in September and learn about all of your interests, hopes and dreams. It is going to be a very exciting year!

Mr Barnes 2PB

Hello everyone! I am Mr Barnes and I have been working at Woodlands Primary School for 17 years across EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
I am passionate about the Arts and have led a number of whole school art projects since starting at Woodlands. One of the most successful projects was the one based on the impact of palm oil on animals in Sumatra. It was in association with Chester Zoo and the school looked amazing when completed. The children produced work of such a high standard and more importantly, understood how important it is to look out for products using sustainable palm oil ingredients.
Outside of school, I have two children, Mia, 18 and Charlie who is 16. I enjoy running, cycling, football and most of all, being with my family. I cannot wait to learn more about you, and discover what your passions, hopes and dreams are!
I am very excited to be your new teacher and I cannot wait to help you to be the best you can be!
