Miss Cardamone-Ward (Team Leader)

Hello, I'm Miss Ward and I am the Den leader. I have worked in all areas of the early years team at Hordle school over the past 5 years. I love being a part of team Den where I can support the children with getting creative and trying new activities in a fun and social environment.

Outside of school, I love to go on walks and to the beach, especially in the summer!

In my spare time I enjoy socialising with friends and listening to music. I also have a pet stick insect called Twiglet!

I love connect 4 so if any children are up for a game, I will take on the challenge (although, I am yet to be defeated!).

In my spare time I like to bake and cook.
