By Angus W 6B

Mat was Angus's teacher in Year 3

Tell us about your family

I have a younger brother named Pat, my mum and dad. I am very close with my family. I recently got engaged to Arna. We also have 3 cats.

Angus - I have 3 dogs & 4 cats.

Who would you like to swap places with for the day?

I would like to swap with you for a day.

Angus - Why?

It would be fun to be a student for a day and you could be my teacher :)

What is it like to be a teacher?

In non covid times, it is very exciting, each day is different and very busy. It is nice to meet lots of students of different ages. The staff at BNPS are amazing and we have a lot of fun, so its cool.

What is your favourite movie?

I love action movies and especially movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I also like all of the Fast & Furious movies. Recently I have been watching a lot of Netflix.

Angus - Me too.

What animal would you like to be for a day?

I would choose to be an eagle, so I could fly. This would be interesting, as I am scared of heights.

Angus - So am I.

What is your favourite music?

I like Rock, Foo Fighters is one of my favourite bands. I listen to old man music now :) I do not enjoy Fox Fm anymore and do not actually listen to the radio anymore. I enjoy audio books and listen to them when I drive to and from school. I live an hour away from school so get to listen to a lot of books.

Angus - I like old man music too, I like 80 & 90s music. I do not like Rock though.

Who inspires you?

You inspire me Angus, you are a legend. It is kids like you that make me want to go to work each day.

Angus - Thank you

What have you learnt during this lock-down?

I have learnt that I spend too much time with Mr Rounsley, though we are very good friends. It is tough not seeing your family and friends. Arna and I are homebodies so we enjoy spending quite time at home.

Angus - I am smashing videos games.

Mat - Me too!!
