Our teacher is Miss Sisson
What is your name? Miss Sisson.
What class do you teach? I teach Year 6 and our class is called Team Owl.
How long have you worked at Longtown Primary School? This is my 5th year of teaching and I am so excited to continue my teaching journey here at Longtown Primary School.
What would the children be surprised to find out about you? The children may be surprised to find out that I attended a dance school for 15 years, where I learnt a variety of dance styles, including modern freestyle, tap and ballet.
What makes a ‘good’ day at Longtown Primary School? When it’s Christmas time and we get to create fantastic Christmas crafts with Christmas music on! The class and I have delicious hot chocolates and sing Christmas Carols, as well as cracking festive code breakers and challenges!
What is the best thing about being a teacher? Making a difference to other people’s lives, allowing children to be the best they can be and show them that they can do something they didn’t think they could. I love seeing their faces light up!
What wisdom would you pass on to the children in your class? All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them.
Things to remember:
- PE Kits should be kept in school so they are always available when needed. They will be sent home during the school holidays for washing. Please make sure all items are clearly labelled with your child’s name.
- Children should bring a named water bottle to school each day. Bottles can be refilled with water in school throughout the day.
- Weekly spellings will be set on Spelling Shed. Children can use the games and activities on Spelling Shed to practise their words at home.
Reading at Home
Please encourage your child to read at least five times each week. Regular reading at home makes a huge difference to children’s fluency, confidence and understanding.
