Fearne Cotton, TV presenter
WALLABY
At school I often thought, ‘I’m wasting my time here’. Then
Mr Iggulden walked into our English class. He was tall and
very likeable. I thought he was fantastic, though not everyone agreed. But he taught us in such an interesting way –
unlike any of my previous English teachers. Rather than
just reading books, he’d get us to act the stories. In one lesson, we watched a video of Lord of the Flies. Then he gave
everyone a character from the book and the whole class
read the book aloud. I thought it was much more fun than
reading alone. Another time, he came in, said something
that we didn’t agree with, and we all started discussing it.
Then he said, ‘Right, you’ve all got top marks in your oral examination’.
I wasn’t very good at English until Mr Iggulden became my teacher. I used to get
low grades, but as soon as I started his classes my grades improved. Sometimes
we argued. He usually said I talked too much, but I think he liked my energy and
interest. I’d never read poetry before, but with Mr Iggulden, I read loads. He encouraged us to write poems too. I still write them and one day I’d like to publish
my own collection.
I’d always wanted to work in TV, but Mr Iggulden insisted I stayed at school
where I could get some qualifications. He said there was only a one-in-a-million
chance that I’d achieve my dream. I never wanted to go to university and when, at
15, I got my first television job presenting a children’s programme, he said, ‘Well
done’. When the time came to leave school, I was upset about leaving his lessons
but I was also looking forward to my future life.
