I’m Miss Bickerton-Dean, the class teacher in Turtle Class. I have worked at Waterside Primary School for over 14 years so I know our school and children very well. I am also the Phase Leader for Years 1–3. I absolutely love being a teacher and feel very lucky to spend each day helping children learn, grow and discover new things. I love making learning fun and creating lots of special memories along the way! I enjoy getting to know the children in my class and seeing their personalities shine. I love celebrating their successes, big and small, and helping them to feel proud of themselves and their achievements. I believe that learning should be exciting, enjoyable and something that children look forward to each day. I’m really looking forward to getting to know our new Turtle Class and sharing lots of exciting learning, fun experiences and wonderful memories together! **Mrs Dove** Hello!
