We would like to warmly welcome you to Tiger's Eye Class. Miss Berrington and Miss Vaughan are very excited to be teaching together again this year. Miss Berrington will teach Monday to Wednesday morning. Miss Vaughan will then complete the week with the children. We cannot wait to get started on a new school year in September 2025. We will be supported by Miss Austen, Mrs Edwards and Miss Gunnell.
We felt that this stone would epitomise the core ethos and values of year 5. Confidence, motivation and inner strength are all the attributes we strive to develop as we navigate through our first year in the upper juniors. We want you to channel your inner:

Miss B would like to think herself as a bit of a music expert...he he he. I love music and collect vinyl so any opportunity we get to sing in class- we will. I am also a huge DCFC fan and like to catch up with the football news on a Monday morning. We had a bit of a tricky year but I'm looking forward to this season and seeing what Wrexham will do. I have a great feeling about this year... My favourite subjects to teach are history and English. My mantra for our class will be: Your best is always good enough! Please contact me through class dojo, or at: lberrington@dovedale.derbyshshire.sch.uk
Like Miss B, I love music. Unlike her, I cannot sing - so fortunately for everyone, I rarely grace the children with my voice in class! I am Welsh and love returning to green grass and mountains, so I spend most of my holidays in rainy Merthyr Tydfil . I really enjoy teaching Science, Spanish and DT and am lucky enough to take the children swimming this year, which is a real highlight for me. I am really looking forward to getting to know all the members of Lunar class, and can be reached on class dojo or at

Keep your eyes peeled... we will post updates here as well as send dojo messages.
Hi everyone, our class assembly will be on Thursday 27th November. :-)
We will always let you know which days our PE slots are on via dojo. In our second half term we will continue to have have PE on Tuesdays and swimming will be on Friday mornings. More information will follow as usual. We will keep you informed about swimming dates via dojo.
Homework will be set on a weekly basis. It usually alternates between a mathematics activity, mymaths for example, and an English activity, spag.com for example. Sometimes we may set a paper based activity, which we will give plenty of notice for. If you need a computer based activity printing out, please let me know via dojo and we can do that for you.
We expect ALL children, EVERY week to learn their spellings in preparation for their weekly test. Times tables MUST be learnt and time spent on TT rock stars is a must.
Finally, we encourage children to read as much as possible at home, both to themselves and to their parents. Reading at home is vital to compliment and reinforce what we are doing in school. We reward children with merits for 3 reads a week.
