All About Mrs. EMMA DONNELLY
Miss Donnelly has been teaching for 8 years. She completed her Primary teaching PGCE at Leeds Beckett
University in 2015 and followed this with 3 years teaching in the UK. She then moved to Dubai for the
opening of The Arbor School and taught there for 5 years. In her teaching career, she has taught Year 1
and Year 2 and is keen to make learning engaging and fun for all children. Miss Donnelly is keen to
create a stimulating environment where all children have an opportunity to explore and investigate in
their own way to build knowledge, language, and friendships. She has experience in leading phonics and
reading across FS and KS1, incorporating reading and writing throughout the curriculum. One of Miss
Donnelly’s favourite times of the day is story time, and her favourite book is We’re Going on a Bear
Hunt! Another of Miss Donnelly’s greatest passions is dancing and musical theatre. After dancing for
many years, she now loves to share this enthusiasm with children which helps them to grow in
confidence, learn something new and of course, to have fun!

‘I am excited to be a part of the Dove Green community and get to know all the children, parents and
staff.’
