Rawmarsh Sandhill Primary School

Welcome to our Foundation Stage 1 class!

Hello! Welcome to Mrs Hartley & Mrs Davis’ class. I hope you are ready for a fun and busy Spring Term! We can’t wait to get going!

Meet your Teachers

Hi! I’m Mrs Hartley. I teach in Foundation and absolutely love it.

We get to play, laugh and have fun every day. I have two little girls at home who are 5 and 2 years old so when I’m not at school I carry on playing and go on lots of adventures with my girls.

My favourite place to be is outside, you will often find me in my wellies ready for any weather! I also love sketching and reading. I can’t wait for you to join us in September. Let’s have a magical time together.

Hi, my name is Mrs Davis and I teach in Foundation.

I love to spend time with my family. I like to go on lots of walks with my little boy to feed the ducks or splash in puddles!

I enjoy using my imagination and I can’t wait to have lots of tea parties in the home corner or be superheroes flying through the skies of Rotherham with you! We are going to have so much fun learning together!
