Our nursery class is called Amythyst.
Amethyst, our three-year-old nursery class, had a super time at the Paddington Experience recently. It was a magical, immersive day that got them feeling very Christmassy- a trip they will certainly remember. The adults enjoyed it too!
My name is Jane Manzone and I am the Assistant Head, Designated Safeguarding Lead, EYFS and English Lead. I am currently studying for my NPQH. This is my 6th year teaching at St Peter and St Paul. I studied at Homerton College Cambridge University, specialising in English Literature. I have been teaching for 27 years in London and Essex schools. Outside school, I have written about education for newspapers and magazines. I enjoy attending education conferences, and have my own event which is held at the CLPE in Waterloo (home of the Power of Reading).
I came to St Peters and St Paul from a Supply Agency as an Early Years Educator. I have been in the Early Years Foundation Stage and I have also worked in Key Stage 1. I enjoy expressive art and design and I use Pinterest to bring new ideas to teaching young children. I was born in Islington and my parents were born in Bangladesh. I have visited there many times.
I have worked at the school for about 15 years now and I am currently working accross the EYFS phase. I started as a lunch time supervisor and eight years ago I undertook a course to become an EYFS practitioner. I like working in early years and I love working at St Peter and St Paul. I have great pride in our school and in the brilliant children who attend the school and make it a great place to work. My weekends are spent with my family, friends and my grandchildren.
