I am a Reception Teacher

1471313903 f1a5df84c2 mTomorrow is my last day at Priestsic Primary School where I have spent the last seven years. After Easter I take up my role as Deputy Head Teacher at John Davies Primary School.

I am excited and nervous all rolled into one. This is a major crossroads in my career and I am keen to make a start.

For the first 4 weeks I will be the classteacher in the Foundation 2 or Reception class (4/5 year olds). I am really excited about this as I will be returning to an age group that inspired me to teach in the first place. I have worked in upper key stage 2 for many years now and so it will be a big change.

Some people may see this as a challenge, I see it as an opportunity. Winston Churchill would have called me an optimist:

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.

I join an outstanding Early Years team and my aim is to soak it all up, to learn as much as I can from those around me and to remind myself everyday why I chose this amazing profession.
