Mr Hunt - Class Teacher Hello, my name is Mr Hunt and I am delighted to be teaching The Persevering Panthers in Year 5 this year. This will be my fourth year working as a teacher (my 2nd in Year 5) and I have been lucky enough to spend all four years of my teaching career at Wellgate. I am looking forward to being able to help The Persevering Panthers grow both as learners and individuals. One of my favourite things is sport, My favourite sport to watch is football (especially The Mighty Leeds United) – I also love watching rugby, cricket and Formula 1. I love lots of different music but I a most likely to be heard signing anything by Oasis (very badly may I add). I want to continue to visit new and exciting places both in the UK and abroad, I love visiting France as we have family who own an old farmhouse in a very beautiful and peaceful area of the country. I also recently travelled to Disney World in Florida, which was an amazing holiday.
Miss Hough - Teaching Assistant Hello, my name is Miss Hough and I am one of the teaching assistants in Year 5. I enjoy making a difference in a child's life in a different way, helping encourage interests in art, crystals and rock minerals and animals. I love to learn about the world around us and how to improve my own skills. I like to learn arty things, herbs and plants and trees - their names, uses etc. I love to draw and read - two of my favourite books are Call of the Wild by Jack London, and also his book White Fang, because it tells the story from an animal's point of view. I love happy electro-pop 80s music like Smalltown Boy, Don't You Want Me Baby, Don't Go Breaking My Heart - and lots of heavy rock music!
