Dear friend

Dear Readers, I have a great friend from my schooldays, Louise. She is one of those truly lovely people who has refined the art of being a friend to perfection. She is a good listener, advice giver, night out organiser, holiday planner, birthday card sender, (she even remembers to send my mum a birthday card) and she can make me laugh till I cry!

Countdown to Christmas - The Advent Calendar

Whenever I don’t feel like planning my lessons, I always remember my tutor at teaching training college in England who would constantly remind me that planning and preparation was the only key to a successful lesson.

Ending the lesson

As a primary school English teacher I teach in 9 classes: some for just one hour, others for two or three hours a week.

I am always very conscious of the importance of handing over a quiet, calm and orderly class to the colleague who follows me.
