Welcome to Early Years

Hello and welcome to our page for Early Years, Dolphin Class, here you can find information about our team, our plans and activities.

Mrs Bowden and her team have lots of fun, Dolphin Class learn through play every day!
Meet the Team

Hello. My name is Ms. Bowden and I am the teacher in Reception Class.

I joined the team at Lanivet in 2021, after teaching at another local primary school for 5 years. I am passionate about creating a fun, safe and engaging learning environment whilst encouraging pupils to develop their independence. I enjoy sharing my love for learning with the children using a cross curricular approach.

When I’m not at school I enjoy spending time with my own young children, spending lots of time outdoors exploring and going on coastal walks. My family and I particularly enjoy snuggling together and reading a good book. We all love the Julia Donaldson books, rhyming books and funny books written by David Walliams. As a family, we enjoy sharing the stories we have read and recommending recent books to others so that they can also enjoy the exciting written adventures. I hope you love reading as much as I do.

Hello. My name is Mrs Hunt and I am one of the teaching assistants in Reception Class.

I have worked in early years for many years and I have an NVQ Level 3 Early Years Child Care Educator and an NVQ Level 3 Diploma in Forest School.  I have a real passion for Early Years and enjoy making the classroom a welcoming, exciting, and happy place in which the children can learn, thrive, and grow.

I really enjoy spending time with my youngest daughter who is about to transition to secondary school and spending time with my slightly older twins. I enjoy being outside, going for cycles and camping with the whole family including our pet dog. My favourite children's books are the large family collection which includes stories such as ‘5 Minutes Peace’ and ‘A Piece of Cake’. I can't wait to meet you all soon; it's going to be an exciting year!
