To all those amazing teachers…
To all those amazing teachers, this is a letter for you. I'm writing this in hopes that it can brighten someone's day, or help someone through a tough patch, or just be something my teacher friends read and ponder over.

Ah, here we are again... after what seems like the toughest 7 weeks of my working career (I have no idea why, this half term just felt ROUGH) we have reached half term. Half term is a funny time for me, I am so bad at switching off and I spend a lot of it … Continue reading Half term… happiness

What We’re Reading!
When I asked on Twitter what people wanted to see on my blog, my lovely friend Aimee suggested I had some kind of kids book input.
