Captains Corner

With this week being the celebration of World Teachers Day, the Year 6 Captains have explored their perspective of being a primary school teacher and the teachers they have had over their years in primary school.

On the 31st of October we are going to be celebrating World Teachers' Day. To celebrate, I thought it would be fun to talk about my favorite teacher. This teacher just so happens to be one of the teachers who taught me this year. But unfortunately, she had to go on maternity leave a couple months ago.

You probably already know Ms. D, but I'll give you an introduction. She is 29 years old and went on maternity leave to have her baby boy, Jack, a few months ago. This year, our class has been lucky to have Ms. D as our teacher—and what a difference she’s made! From the moment we walked through the door, Ms. D welcomed us with a warm smile and a heart full of kindness. She makes every student feel seen, heard, and supported.

But what really makes Ms. D stand out is how she turns learning into an adventure. Whether it's creative lessons, fun rewards, or light-hearted jokes, Ms. D always finds a way to make each lesson exciting and fun. 

We hope to see Ms.D again at graduation this year but until then, we miss you Ms.D you were an amazing teacher!

Good morning/afternoon everyone, this week I will be talking about what I think a day in life of a teacher looks like. Firstly, they wake up in the morning and brush their teeth and make coffee/tea (maybe). Then they get ready for school and they drive here. They then go to the staff room to make coffee/tea if they already haven’t. If it’s a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday then they stay for a little bit and listen to the bands practicing their pieces (pieces are songs). Then they go to the classroom and get the day’s work ready (print out worksheets and whatnot). Then the students come and they teach us all the way up to the first break. During the break they are either on yard duty, getting stuff done or chatting in the staffroom. And then they teach us (again) all the way up to the second break. During the break they are either on yard duty, getting stuff done or chatting in the staffroom (they do it all again). Then they teach us to the end of the day. After all us students have left they do more work. And then they go home. There are some special cases where if there is a specialist class then they do (drumroll please) more work.

Hey everyone, I hope you have been enjoying the recent spring weather. As you might know, it is World Teachers Day on Friday this week and I just want to talk about some teachers who I have enjoyed learning with (sorry to all the other teachers). One of the teachers I like is Ms D. She is an active and outgoing person who makes learning with her fun by adding a pinch of humour to everything. She is also kind and helpful and doesn’t think twice of helping you. Now, she is on maternity leave, but she has always been one of my favourite teachers. She is influential because she teaches us what is right and an is light-hearted, so she never misses a day without making us laugh.
