Hummingbirds Class

My name is Mrs Maudlin and I am the teacher of Hummingbirds three days a week alongside my colleague Mrs Wilson. I have been a teacher for more than 10 years, being at my previous school in Norwich since I was an NQT. I have taught throughout KS2 and feel extremely lucky to be doing a job a thoroughly enjoy and feel passionate about. I completed my degree in Education and Geography in Chester and went on to do my teacher training in Liverpool. I moved back to Norfolk once I had completed my studies, to be closer to my family and to begin my first teaching role.

I joined the Bawburgh team this year and I am very excited to begin a new journey in my career. I love the school and already feel part of the Bawburgh family!

I enjoy teaching all subjects, but I have a passion for teaching English and instilling a love of reading in young people. I believe that exposing all children to high quality literature increases engagement, and the many different teaching approaches I adopt enables children gain a deeper understanding of literature in a creative and fun way. I am the subject lead for English in school, which enables me to continue to develop new strategies for teaching and learning within this area of the curriculum.

Outside of school, I try to read as much as I can and enjoy listening to music. I love travelling and holidays in the sun with my family. I also enjoy going to the Theatre and wish I could go more often. My most recent visit was to see Marry Poppins, which was brilliant, and is my all-time favourite childhood film.

Hello, I’m Mrs Wilson and I have been a teacher for 6 years and was at my previous school since being a Newly Qualified Teacher. I have always taught in KS2 and am experienced in teaching children to prepare for their SATs. I love my job, I love working with children and seeing them learn and become enthused by learning. I also love talking to children and hearing what they think about the world, I honestly think my job is one of the best in the world!

At Bawburgh I am the subject leader for PE. Sport is very important for me and my family. I have competed in many sporting competitions over the years but my main sports are horse riding and triathlons. I am hoping to compete in another triathlon next season and this will be my first one since having my little boy!

As well as sport I love watching Disney films and spending time outside with my friends and family. I am happiest when I am out in the fresh air! I also LOVE chocolate it is by far the best thing ever invented!
