People of God – Serving Our Community 

People of God – Serving Our Community 

by Jo Cleden | Dec 12, 2025 | Seatown News, Uncategorized

We learned how Christians live as the People of God by helping others. We researched local charities, volunteered in a community project, and wrote recounts using fronted adverbials, cohesion, and powerful vocabulary. We reflected on generosity and service and how...

  • You have more chance to sing a solo!
  • The tasks are fun and harder.

About Mrs Cleden

Did you always want to be a teacher?

No. When I was younger I had no idea what I wanted to be. I always fancied myself as a singer or dancer because I was always singing and dancing around the house. It drove my family mad!

Do you have any pets?

I used to as a child. I had 2 goldfish called Bit and Bot!! I also had 2 rabbits, although not at the same time. One was called Flopsy – she was a black and white fierce one. The other was a beautiful grey, placid rabbit called Binky!

What was your favourite book you read as a child?

I can remember buying a box set of Roald Dahl books for my 10th birthday and reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I had never seen the film so his descriptions of the chocolate room were completely magical to me. Eating blades of grass that tasted of mint? Wow!! I would read those pages over and over again.

Have you always lived in Dorset?

No, I was born and brought up in South West London, but I have lived in West Dorset for the last 25 years.

If there was one place in the world you could visit, where would it be?

Hmm, that’s a tricky one. I think it would have to be the Rocky Mountains of Canada when it’s snowing so that I could go sledging and skiing and all sorts of snowy activities before finishing off the day snuggled up by a real fire. Canada has lots of lovely powdery snow and the ski slopes are very big and wide (very useful for me because I’m not a great skier and often bump into people!).

So, is winter your favourite season?

Actually, no, it’s summer. I love being outside in warm sunshine and I really love light mornings and evenings. I love my garden too and summer is the best time to enjoy it.

What is your favourite colour?

Green – pistachio green mainly.

Do you have any hobbies?

I love gardening and visiting gardens but you may have guessed that I love watching musicals (including the old ones) and going to the theatre. Oh, and of course singing. I simply have to sing out loud when I hear songs I love.

Is there anything you are terrible at?

Drawing! Anyone who has been in my class will know that!

Give us a fun fact about yourself.

I have appeared in a pop video for about 2 seconds, but I’m not going to tell you which one!
