Emma is one of six shortlisted for the Times Educational Supplement contest — the only one from Scotland — having filmed herself reading When I Woke Up I Was a Hippopotamus by Tom MacRae (a P2 class favourite).
The footage is available on the TES website, where members of the public can vote for their favourite teacher.

The East Renfrewshire school has issued an appeal for the community to get voting for Mrs Taylor.
If she wins, an episode of the CITV show Bookaboo will be filmed at Giffnock primary.
The teacher commented: “I am absolutely thrilled to have reached this stage. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the story to the children, sharing their enjoyment in it.
“I also thought it would be nice to choose this one, as I had organised a visit to the school last year from the illustrator, Ross Collins.”
