Lee Parkinson (A.K.A. Mr P) is a hugely popular primary school teacher who has grown a huge online following through offering training courses to school staff, creating funny education related memes & hosting an award-winning podcast with his brother (2 Mr Ps in a Podcast).

Ep 21: Emily Weston: Transition, Reading & A Couple Of Clumsy Stories!

The longest EVER episode of Teach Sleep Repeat is here and ready for you to devour! We speak to Emily Weston (primaryteachew on Twitter) about a LOT of different topics. Emily has a passion for reading, teaches a mixed year 5/6 class and worked in a secondary school as a transition teacher, helping year 6 children make the huge leap to secondary school. We talk about everything from controversial books to how Emily is, possibly, the clumsiest teacher to ever set foot in a classroom. We had great fun with this one and hope you do too. You can skip straight to 21:13 where Emily comes in, but before that Hayden has ANOTHER bird story, Dylan mangles his toe, and we share a Toxic story from one of our dear listeners.
