Welcome to Team DB

"Throughout this year, we will always aim to start the day with a smile on our faces and remain positive and enthusiastic even when we feel challenged. We all agree that when faced with new challenges we will always try our best to be resilient learners who are willing to ‘have a go’. In Team DB, we will be respectful to all members of the school community and support one another in our learning. We promise to work hard and as a team to make the best progress we can. To help us in our progress we will aim high and strive for excellent attendance and punctuality. As a class we will be inspired by our learning and remember to be reflective on our experiences." Team DB's vision statement.

MEET THE TEAM

Mrs Bamforth

Class Teacher
​Hello, my name is Mrs Bamforth and I this is my second year as the Year 4/5 class teacher at Park Street. I have the great pleasure of teaching a fabulous group of children. I love teaching all areas of learning and I am really looking forward to sharing new ideas with the class, as well as the children demonstrating their passion and excitement in their learning.
I love to read and spend time with my family, who are all cricket enthusiasts, and it is where I spend most of my Summer. 

Mrs Akyel

Class Teaching Assistant
I have been at Park Street for five years and working in schools for as long as I can remember. I am passionate about inclusivity and making sure every child feels safe.
I love football; in my spare time I take my youngest son to all of his games. I normally help Mr Smith with the school football teams too! 
I enjoy art and taking my two cockapoos on lots of adventures.

Mrs Robinson

Class Teaching Assistant
Hi, I'm Mrs Robinson and I am a Classroom Teaching Assistant in Team DB. I love supporting our amazing pupils in all areas of their learning, especially when we get creative! I feel incredibly lucky to be part of an amazingly supportive school community, here at Park Street. 
In my spare time, I enjoy playing cricket, baking sewing and lovely long walks with my family and our dog.

What do we learn about in Team DB?

In Team DB we aim to have lots of fun and show great enthusiasm in everything we do. Throughout the year we focus on three integrated curriculum topics which cover Geography, History and Science. To support our learning with the National Curriculum, each term we will be investigating a different enquiry based question.

Autumn Term: Where would you like to visit in Europe?
Ancient Greeks: Culture and Beliefs.
Spring Term: Ancient Greeks: Culture and Beliefs.
​Who were the Anglo Saxons and Vikings?
Summer Term: What on Earth is beyond our planet?

Keep up to date with our learning by following our class blog.
