9. Funniest moment in your teaching career?
I was once explaining adjectives to a grade 4 class, and of course had to do a demonstration on a desk that involved a whole lot of arm movement , sound gestures (and a really crazy looking teacher to be honest), only to notice my class door was wide open and in the doorway was my principal and 2 Governing body members taking a tour of the school. It may not have been the funniest moment for myself, but my boys seemed to have had a really good giggle out of.
