Meet the teacher - Miss Ballinger
Holy Cross Catholic Primary School
I feel very fortunate to have been teaching at Holy Cross since 2021. I have worked with some wonderful children and I feel very fortunate to have played a part in their development and growth. I started my journey at the school as a supply teacher and loved the school so much I applied for a full-time position. Everyone is so welcoming from the staff and children to the wider community.

I am really passionate in creating lifelong learners. I can’t wait to bring the children’s learning to life through exciting activities and the trips we will go on. In school, I love teaching English, History and Art. Working alongside my class, I know that we are going to have an exciting year ahead! Together, we work on initiatives that promote a positive school environment and empower students to take an active role in shaping our community. It’s inspiring to see our young leaders engage with their peers and make meaningful contributions to our school!

Outside of school, I enjoy baking and decorating cakes (I think this is where my creative side comes from) and also going for walks with my dog, Millie. I also enjoy going on adventures and travelling with my friends and family.

Term 3 Hazel Class
In Year 4, Term 3, we have recently been learning about rainforests and persuasive letters, which we have linked together. Our persuasive letters that we write are going to be sent to our Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak. In guided reading lessons, we have read and enjoyed The Firework Maker’s Daughter by Phillip Pullman and we all loved it very much.
Our author of the term is Anthony Browne. We have listened to many of his books in story time. We have really enjoyed our rainforest topic, particularly and have been fascinated by facts about deforestation, especially around orangutans and how they are endangered.
