Hello everybody!
My name is Mrs Sackey. I have been enjoying teaching at John Perry School since 2013 and currently I am teaching in year one. I have been in education for twenty-two years. I am a versatile teacher who has had the pleasure of teaching in my home country Ghana and here in the UK.
My nuclear family; my daughter, son, husband and I live locally and enjoy being part of such a wonderful Barking and Dagenham community.
I would like to think that an area of strength is my ability to make learning fun. I believe that if my pupils are feeling happy and confident then their learning will flourish (good planning and resources help too). When you walk into my class, it is always vibrant and exciting as I pride myself in making the learning environment conducive for teaching and learning.
As teachers we spend a very large part of the day with children and our influence and impact on their lives is big. I therefore have a strong focus on building a strong class family which promotes positive learning relationships, high expectations and an inspiring learning environment thereby helping children to thrive and reach their highest potential.
With the notion of Malcolm X’s comment in mind, “Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today”, I am pleased to be a member of the John Perry school community to promote the schools’ ethos for children to reach their full potentials to give them a good foundation to become productive adults in future.
Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, cooking, reading and being an efficient member of my church and home community.
My favourite quote is: ‘If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours’ and that is why I wear a broad smile on my face every time which is now permanent by the way so be the reason for someone to smile today.
