Year 5
Welcome from Miss Allen!
My name is Miss Allen and I will be your teacher in Year 5. I can’t wait to spend the year ahead with you all.
I’m excited to be starting my first year at Shobnall Primary and Nursery School, and I can’t wait to get to know all of the children! I’m especially excited to help the children learn, grow, and achieve their very best this year, while also having lots of fun along the way!
Year 5 is an exciting year, packed full of amazing activities! In my opinion, the best part has to be our residential trip to Whitemoor Lakes!
