I love my job and particularly enjoy the challenge of finding fun and enjoyable ways for the children to learn.

 

Through my teaching I aim to nurture children’s natural desire to find things out by providing learning opportunities that challenge, motivate and inspire. Questions are encouraged and children are guided and supported where needed to find the answers. I encourage the children in my class to take risks and help them to understand that we learn through trial and error.

I am constantly reviewing my own practice and believe that learning should be a journey for all!

 

Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my family. We love going for country walks with our dog, or down to the beach for a picnic, swim or surf.

​

I love working at Totnes St John's and feel so proud to work with such wonderful teachers, support staff, children and their parents! This year, I am excited to be teaching Year 1. I have heard that they are a curious bunch so I can't wait to get started on our journey!
