Hello! Welcome to Year 5. My name is Mrs Claxton.
I chose Helen Keller as our class name to inspire students with her incredible determination, courage, and perseverance. Despite being blind and deaf from a young age, Helen Keller overcame immense challenges to become a writer, speaker, and advocate for people with disabilities. Her story teaches us the value of resilience, the importance of education, and the power of never giving up—qualities I hope to encourage in every student in our class.
We all face challenges in life, but with determination and support, we have the strength to overcome them and grow stronger.
