Welcome to Year 4S

We are looking forward to sharing a fantastic year of learning, creativity and growth together, and we are excited to have you as part of our class family.

Meet the Teachers:

I'm Mrs Sharp and I am delighted I have the opportunity to teach your child this year. I really enjoy teaching year 4 and I know that your children are going to be a fabulous 4S class.  Here's a little more you may or may not know about me...

I have been a teacher at Irk Valley for 12 years and have worked in Years 4, 5 and 6 during that time. I have loved every minute of my time here - it really is the best school in the world! When I'm not teaching, I enjoy baking for my family and colleagues, walking my dog in lots of different parks and spending time with my children. 

This year is going to be an excellent year. We will be learning lots of new things, revising things we learned in Year 2 and 3 as well as going swimming. My main aim as 4S's teacher is to ensure your child is safe, happy and making excellent progress at school. 

I am looking forward to working together with you to support your child in Year 4. If you have any questions, please do contact me.

All about Mrs Nosheen

My name is Mrs Nosheen and I have been an assistant teacher at Irk Valley School for 13 years. I started as an assistant teacher in reception but I have worked in year 4 and 5 too. Being an assistant teacher is something I am proud of because it gives me the chance to be part of a group that is shaping the future of our country. 

At home, I have a husband and 2 children who I enjoy cooking with. I also love old Indian and Pakistani music. I am a qualified beauty therapist and have worked in Selfridges and House of Fraser for 6 years. I really love doing makeup.

Reading records should be signed by an adult at least once a week. We celebrate reading success through certificates and stamps.
