Describe your teaching style in 3 words:
Calm, relaxed and spontaneous.
What do you most look forward to about your days?
I love my job because no two days are ever the same. When I see the children learning and progressing it gives me such a sense of pride – knowing that I have contributed in some way. Hearing a child laugh and seeing them achieve a goal makes any day a good day.
What is your proudest moment/favourite thing to happen to you at St Mary’s?
40 yrs of teaching three and four year olds and lucky to have my grandchildren come through St.Mary’s. I also feel proud watching each child’s progress and development during the short time they spend in Possum Group and being part of their learning process.
