Welcome to the Crosby Class page. Our PE days are Tuesdays and Fridays.
Welcome to Crosby Class (Year 5)
2025/26
Each class throughout the school is named after an artist. We are named after the artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby.
Njideka Akunyili Crosby is a Nigerian-born artist. She was born in 1983 in Enugu, Nigeria, and later moved to the United States.
Crosby is well-known for her unique style of art that blends painting, drawing, collage, and photographs. She often combines images from Nigerian popular culture with Western influences to create powerful, layered artworks that tell stories about identity, culture, and family.
The class teacher is Mrs. Lanson and our Teaching Assistant is Mrs. Bunce.
Miss Stevens will take the class for PE on Tuesday morning.
Ms Ramirez will also teach us on Monday mornings and Tuesday afternoons.
