Happy times!
Reading a whole book in 2 sittings when you've been unable to concentrate on a book in ages. Christmas presents in the post. Wrapping (despite the fact I hate it) well co-ordinated presents. Watching Drag Race and cutting out. Voices of Fire. Being able to use something time and time again because it works. Watching … Continue reading Happy times!
Happy things…

A month in the life of me… May edition!

Seeing my classroom all set up for … Continue reading A month in the life of me… May edition!

Hello! So here we go: week 3 of lockdown. As I write this, we haven't had any updates on how long lockdown will be lasting, but I don't see it being over any time soon, and I certainly don't think my life will be going back to normal any time soon.

Half term is... A time for me to switch off for a minute. For me to see friends that I've not seen for a while. A time for me to breathe. Time to get creative. An opportunity for me to read all of the books. The time I spend with my family. A time to … Continue reading Half term is…
