Hello, my name is Joe Tingle and I am from the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire. I was living in Bristol, but I’ve recently moved home and now commute to Bristol. This is my third year of teaching, but my first in Year 2. I previously taught Year 4 in Birch class. I consider myself to be quite active and I play rugby for a local team in the Forest of Dean. I also love cycling and recently climbed Mont Ventoux in France to raise money for the library bus. Like most people, I like to spend my holidays traveling and searching for some good weather. I am very excited to be in year 2 this year and can’t wait to enjoy all of the different topics with the children.
