I’ve just started work at a new school and in order for the pupils get to know me, I let them ask five questions about me at the beginning of their first lesson. I recommend doing this when you start work at a new school providing you have a good sense of humour and don’t mind potential personal questions being asked. Thought I’d quickly post some of the questions they asked me just for a bit of fun…

• Are you married with kids?
• What football team do you support? (My answer caused mass-booing)
• Why do you think the school gave you this job?
• Did you make your hair like that or was it an accident?
• Can you make my hair like yours?
• Why don’t you go on Britain’s Got Talent, then you’ll be rich and you can buy us all Blackberries!
• What made you want to become a teacher?
• Are you a rockstar?
• Are you Australian?
• Are you Scottish?
• Is your name Bilbo?
