Nervous. Pretty scared. I can't lie. It's not that I think I can't do this job, cause I have done this job for years. Teaching is the only thing I've ever wanted to do. I'm just scared. That's normal right? People get nervous when something new comes along? Something they don't know, when they don't … Continue reading Anxious.

What We’re Reading!
I haven't done a 'What We're Reading' post for a while, so thought it was time to share once again the books that my Year 4 class are reading! The last one is here: What We’re Reading… There's a wide variety here! And there's a few books missing! I'm reading Goodly and Grave, which the publishers … Continue reading What We’re Reading!
Use your senses?!
Last week (Wonderful writing?) I talked about using Once Upon A Picture to inspire my Year 4s to write detailed setting descriptions and I was SO proud of them. This week I decided to try and add more depth to their descriptions by getting them to think about using their settings to deepen their descriptions, … Continue reading Use your senses?!

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.

2017 work wishes
I posted earlier this week about my 2017 plans (not resolutions, cause that's a stupid word and they're always broken) and mentioned that there would be a work specific one. Work and uni take a lot of my time so I think it's good to give them their own time and place! I will try … Continue reading 2017 work wishes
