9 QUESTIONS
Every week we will be interviewing a member of the Old
Ford community and asking their views on life, the
universe....everything!
This week it is Ahmed from Year 6!
1. Who are you and what do you do at Old Ford Primary
Academy?
I am Ahmed Faraj and I teach 6 Integrity.
2. What is the best thing about working at Old Ford?
I trained to teach at Old Ford and so it has a special place
in my heart. The staff are incredibly supportive and we
always look out for each other and the children in the
school are a constant reminder of why I have always
wanted to teach; they show kindness and support each
other extremely well.
3. Pick 4 words which describe you
Caring, conscientious, calm and cheeky
4. What is your favourite meal?
This is such a hard question...this cannot be answered as I
have about 3423 favorite things to eat, however right now I
am craving Nandos and so I'd have to say: Juicy chicken
thighs, 5 wings, peri chips, rice, halloumi cheese, avocado,
perinaise and nice cold glass of sparkling water.
Mmmmmm
5. If you were a cartoon character, who would you be
and why?
I'd be Goku from Dragonball Z. He is strong, brave,
cheerful and kind.
6. What is your favourite book?
Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts
7. What is your favourite film?
Lagaan...definitely recommend if you have a spare 3
hours and 45 mins!
8. If you were stranded on a desert island, which one
item couldn't you live without?
I know it says one... but I'd take my family photo and
my cricket bat...Wilson 2.0.
9. Do you have a piece of inspirational advice for
everyone at Old Ford?
When bad things happen, remember there is always
something better on its way. Everything happens for a
reason and lastly always be thankful for what you
have; there is no such thing as life that's better than
yours.
RSHE ENGAGEMENT
Thank you to all parents who responded to the RSHE
