Meet the Teacher Q & A- Marvellous Mules Class

What is your name?  Mrs Collinson

What class do you teach? I teach Years 4, 5 and 6. Our class is called the Marvellous Mules.

How long have you worked at Tebay Primary School? This is my first year at Tebay Primary School but I have worked for Cumbria Education Trust for 7 years.

What do you like best about working at Tebay Primary School? I love that the whole school is like a family and that I have the privilege of knowing every child individually (and giving them house points). I also love the passion the children have for their student leadership roles and the cross-trust events and opportunities we get to take part in. Finally, I love Toasty Friday and the Celebration Assembly every Friday.

Tell us something about yourself that the children and parents don’t know?

I play rugby for Upper Eden Eagles most Sundays and I have a little boy that was born on Christmas Day 2022.

What is your favourite children’s book and why?

My favourite children’s book is Matilda because I love that she gets the recognition she deserves in the end from her wonderful teacher. World Book Day is also my favourite day of the year when I get to dress-up!

What is your favourite quote?

We learn from our mistakes not from successes.

Things to remember:

  • Homework- We expect every child to read every day for at least 10 minutes. Please sign your child’s reading record when they read with you at home so they have a chance to enter our Strive for Five Raffle every Friday.
  • PE days are Tuesday and Fridays. Named PE kits (including outdoor footwear) to be kept in school. Kits will be sent home for washing during school holidays.
  • Water bottles.
  • A healthy snack for break time.
  • Listening to your child read is crucial and enjoying a book together is time well spent.
