Year 3 & 4 – ​​​​​​​Sycamore

Welcome to Sycamore Class!

Meet your teacher – Mr Johnny James

Mr Johnny JamesI'm really looking forward to teaching my current Year 2s and seeing even more progress as we move into Year 3, and getting to know the current Year 3s better as we move into Year 4. I actually met the new Year 4 children the first time I ever taught at Botley, when we read 'The Squirrels Who Squabbled' and talked about our value of teamwork! 

Next year will be my twelfth year of teaching, and I have taught every year group from Reception to Year 6 at a range of schools, so I'm really hoping that this will help me to help all of you do your best. I also taught English to primary, secondary and adult learners in Thailand before completing my teacher training, so I hope that it will help me support children with English as an Additional Language. 

Outside of school, I love reading, cooking and playing with my kittens (who won't be kittens for much longer!). I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone at Botley even better next year and supporting everyone to reach their true potential.
