Meet your teacher
Miss parkin
Class 2 Hello, my name is Miss Parkin and I can’t wait to be your new teacher! I have two gorgeous children. Together, we love singing and dancing to music, especially songs from Frozen and Encanto! We also love reading stories, playing board games and completing jigsaws. I love getting creative, so we are often doing exciting (and messy) things at home like baking and painting. We also enjoy finding new places to explore and going to the cinema.
Although I have been a teacher for a long time, I have only spent a year at Monkwood but I love here and I know you will too. There are so many interesting places to explore in our school and we even have our very own woodland where we can go to look for Gruffalos and fairies! In our classroom you’ll find lots of fabulous resources that you can use to build, create and craft. I know you’ll love letting your imaginations run wild in our role-play area too! I’m so excited to share my favourite stories with you and I know we will have so much fun together next year!
CLASS 3
Meet your teacher
Mrs Turner
Class 3 Hi there my name is Mrs Turner and I have been a teacher at Monkwood for the past 4 years. I really love working with the children in the EYFS and am very excited to be in Class 3 next year. We are all going to have a great time together on this special learning journey. I think you will love your new classroom and our wonderful outside area. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and going to the seaside for walks on the beach. I have two grown up children of my own and a dog called Cookie who loves playing with her ball. Oh yes, I nearly forgot, I also have a tortoise called Barney, who might come and visit us one day in our new classroom. I look forward to seeing you all soon.
