Send us YOUR messages for Thank a Teacher Day

It's National Thank a Teacher' Day today!

It's a day that celebrates teachers and school staff all over the country and thanks them for their hard work.

Whether it is your class teacher, a teaching assistant or dinner helper we want to hear from YOU.

What makes them so fantastic and what you are grateful for?

You can let us know by leaving a comment below.

You see them almost every day and they are a big part of your lives, teachers and school support staff help kids learn and grow and now there is a chance to recognise all they do.

Is there a special teacher who is able to explain things really well and makes lessons super fun?

Or is there a teaching assistant who has helped you with something that you found difficult?

Perhaps there's someone who is always there for a friendly chat or is guaranteed to make you laugh?

Maybe one of your school staff is particularly kind or a good listener?

Or is there a dinner helper who remembers what your favourite food is and always gives you a bigger helping?

Whoever it is, give that special person in your school a shout out in the comments.

Let us know how they've helped you and why they should be thanked.
