Year 5 2025 - 2026

Mrs Megginson 5/6DM

Welcome to Year 5/6!

Hello. I am Mrs Megginson and I will be your teacher in September. I am really excited that we will be working together! This will be my 8th year teaching at Woodlands and I am the history lead at our school. Did you know – the water that comes out of our taps is the same water that the dinosaurs drank? This is one of my favourite facts ever! I can’t wait to hear yours.

Outside of school I like to spend time with my family and friends. I have 2 children. My son lives and works in Liverpool and my daughter is at college studying for her A-levels, but it doesn’t seem that long ago since they were in Year 5/6! We are all big music fans in our family - we like to go to music concerts and festivals together, go camping and walking in the woods or on a beach.

I am thrilled to be part of the Y5/6 team again this year. We will work hard to make your final year at Woodlands one to remember! We already have lots of exciting ideas and plans in place for you. I know we will have a great year together. I want our classroom to be a busy, happy place and I can’t wait for us to get going.

Mr Price 5MP

Hello everyone! I am Mr Price and I am extremely excited to be joining the Woodlands Primary School team this year as your Y5 teacher!

I enjoy teaching all subjects, but I am particularly passionate about PE. It is a unique subject, outside of the classroom, where the children can express themselves, whilst developing all forms of wellbeing to take into later life.

When I am not in school, you can often find me enjoying walks in nature, reading a book or watching some sort of sports.

I am enthusiastic about creating an inclusive, fun and engaging classroom environment, where every individual can thrive and grow. I look forward to meeting and learning about each and every one of you and cannot wait to get started on our year 5 journey together!

Miss Hughes 5HH

Hello! I am Miss Hughes and I will be entering my fourth year at Woodlands Primary School.

I am very excited to be your Y5 teacher, and I know we’re in for a wonderful time, full of laughter and new discoveries!

I am passionate about history and maths, as these were my favourite subjects when I was at school. I love my job of teaching and I can’t wait to find out which subjects you enjoy and to make learning as enjoyable as possible. I’m especially excited to dive into our history topic of World War II together — there’s so much to explore, and we even have an exciting school trip to look forward to!

When I am not in school, I enjoy spending time with my friends, family, and my little girl Felicity. I also love to spend time going on walks and exploring the outdoors (when the weather is sunny!!).

My wish for our classroom this year is that it will be friendly, filled with joy, and full of fantastic teamwork.
