Miss Parkin
Hello, my name is Miss Parkin and I am so excited to be joining Monkwood
Primary School in September!
I have two gorgeous children who are called Marley (3 years old) and Layla (2 years old). Together, we love singing and dancing to music! We also love reading stories and playing board games. I love being creative, so we are often doing exciting (and messy) things at home like baking and painting. We also enjoy visiting lots of places and going to the cinema.
I have heard lots of wonderful things about you all and can’t wait to meet you soon! I’m excited to share my favourite stories with you and I know we will have so much fun together next year!
