Welcome to Year 4
Class Teacher:
Hello, my name is Miss Thompson and I am the Year 4 class teacher at Thornley Primary School. I am new to Thornley school; however, I am very excited to be a part of this wonderful school and the wider community. I have recently graduated from university and this is my first teaching position with many years to come. My favourite subjects to teach are Maths and Art. I belive all children should be masters at maths as it is critical to success in problem-solving and critical thinking which can be used in everyday life.
Teaching Assistant:
Hello my name is Mrs Unsworth, I am one of the teaching assistants in Thornley Primary. I am originally from Belfast, although I have lived in County Durham for over 20 years. I have been at Thornley for 9 years and during that time I have had the pleasure of working with children from Year 1 up to Year 6. I realised my passion for working with children after having 3 of my own, who are now 18, 15 & 14. I love Maths, Science & Geography. My aim is to make sure all of our children are happy and feel valued as individuals and to inspire their confidence. I strive to making learning fun and rewarding.
