My name is Miss McManus and I have been teaching since 2012. I am passionate about learning through play in Early Years and I love the variation and excitement that working with young children brings - no two days are ever the same! In reception we can always be found engaging in imaginative play, reading stories, expressing ourselves through art, music and drama or getting muddy in the mud kitchen! My favourite subject is phonics, as this gives the children the early reading and writing skills that they need as they begin their journey through school.
