Year 3 2025 - 2026
Miss Rowland 3MR
Hello. My name is Miss Rowland, and I have worked at Woodlands for 6 years. I am excited to meet you all and discover lots of new things together.
In my spare time, I love to go swimming and I’m actually a swimming teacher too. I love the outdoors and have even taken up wild swimming. On the weekends, I can usually be found on my paddle board or going for hikes to explore new places. I also have two little dogs called Bailee and Peppa, and I enjoy taking them for walks along the beach.
I cannot wait to get to know you all and I am looking forward to all of the fun-filled adventures we are going to have.
Miss Shepherd 3BS
Hello, I’m Miss Shepherd and I’m extremely excited to be your Year 3 teacher at Woodlands Primary School this year! I will be entering my fifth year at Woodlands and I am extremely excited to be leading PE again across the school this year.
In Year 3, there are lots of exciting things to look forward to and, other than the core subjects, we will be working on topics such as: The Awesome Egyptians (one of my favourites), The Stone Age and UK and our surrounding coastlines.
When I am not in school, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and my three dogs Cleo, Lottie and Mila. I love listening to music and going to concerts of my favourite artists as well as going on long walks with the dogs, who tend to get very muddy!
I am passionate about all things art related and history as these were some my favourite subjects I
studied. We are going to work hard but at the same time I’m sure we will have a fantastic year together.
Welcome to Y3!
