Miss Lapping
Meet your teacher
Miss Lapping
Hello, I’m Miss Lapping and I’ve been teaching since 2017 but I’ve been looking after children in various job roles for many years. I love teaching, mostly because it means I get to be a little bit silly sometimes and laugh a lot every day! I am a self-confessed nerd and like all things sci-fi and fantasy; my favourites being, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.
I spend lots of time with them at the weekends as well as reading, baking and going walking in the Yorkshire Dales and the Peak District.
Fascinating facts:
1) I lived abroad for a year in New Zealand and Australia
2) My biggest fear is heights but I once did a 47 meter bungee jump (I screamed the whole way down!)
Meet your teaching assistants
Mrs Critchlow
Hello everyone. My name is Mrs Critchlow and I am a teaching assistant . Two of my children came to Ashwood School and now I have joined the marvennous Ashwood team.
I enjoy family days out and being creative in my spare time.
Mrs Critchlow
Hello, my name is Miss Mason and I am very excited to be your new Teaching Assistant.
Before this role, I ran the school’s Breakfast Club, but I loved seeing children learn and grow so much that I decided to join the Ashwood team in the classroom.
I love helping children feel proud of themselves and can’t wait to support you on your learning journey. If you’re feeling a little nervous, remember that I am always here to help.
I enjoy reading mystery books and singing in my spare time. I also have two children of my own.
I am looking forward to getting to know you all and having a fantastic year together.
Class Information
Our ClassDojo account will be updated regularly with lots of messages, dojo points and picture updates – it is important that you are engaging with this on a regular basis. Some transition activities will also be posted on there so let me know if you’re having trouble setting it up.
Homework will be given weekly and will be marked in school time.
Your attendance this year is extremely important and is the key to your success. Please ensure you are on time, every day and ready to learn in the classroom. I’ll see you in September!
