              Hi. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Mr Cooper. 

      I have created this webpage to let you know a little bit more about me. I thought that since I'm going to get to know all my pupils so well during the year, it's only fair that they can get to know me just as well also. On this page you will find some background information and fun facts about me.

I graduated with an Honours Degree in Human Resource Management in 2003 from Swansea Institute. I used this qualification to become a Training and Recruitment Manager for NEXT in Swansea. I later went on and took the bold step of becoming a self-employed estate agent. This was a great job as it allowed me to be nosy and snoop inside other peoples houses.

My desire to teach directed me towards Aberystwyth University in 2005. I had originally planned to become a business studies teacher in secondary schools, but a very productive work experience in my old primary school (Ysgol Gymraeg Rhydaman) had given me the inspiration to become a primary teacher instead. This is probably the best decision I have ever made!

I am now in my second teaching year in Ysgol Parc Waundew (Richmond Park) in Carmarthen. I love being a teacher because it gives me an opportunity to be a positive influence on childrens lives. I cannot think of a more rewarding job than to help shape a child's future. I also have my colleagues and pupils to thank for helping me settle here so quickly - I'm having a great time.

                     Now you know a little bit about why and how I became a teacher, here are some fun facts you might also like to know about me:

Interesting fact:  I have met Sylvester Stallone.

Favourite food:  Steak and chips or chinese food.

Favourite drink:  Depends on the occassion. In school - water.

Favourite sports:  Football and rugby.       

Favourite teams:  Manchester United and the Llanelli Scarlets.

Favourite movies:  Beauty and the Beast, Rocky 4 and Die Hard.

Favourite car:  My Toyota Celica or a Lamborghini Gallardo.

What REALLY bugs me:  People talking in the cinema.

If I won a million pounds:  I would still teach, but I would drive into school with my Lamborghini Gallardo.
