Hello! This account is all about finding the space to breathe and focus in our hectic teaching lives. It’s these spaces (sometimes only a few nanoseconds long) which allow us to find the most useful response to enable our pupils to learn, progress and self regulate.

So, I was back at North Newton Primary again today, where the Year 3/4 class wanted to make some artwork inspired by cave paintings. Look at their marvellous creatures. 🙂

Artwork created by the Year 3/4 class today inspired by cave paintings. The children worked in pairs to build a 3D relief image of an animal based on reference photos. They used cardboard and paper straws and then added colour using tissue paper.

Just as well I didn’t choose it because I was visually impaired then.

Yes #WeWantPockets My dress for the wedding is having one added as we speak.

We also want functional pockets! I’ve spent several hours today checking donated clothing and my hand totally disappears wrist deep into men’s pockets but not women’s. No use for phones!

'Girls need to carry things too!': How women's pockets became so controversial

Why do men's clothes have so many pockets, and women's so few? For centuries, the humble pocket has been a flashpoint in the gender divide of fashion. Is that finally set to change?

Yes but not neatly. I can also touch type. But there was no mention of no sight in original post?

But it is doable with technology and pupils who become exceptionally helpful in this circumstance. Clapping, typing or writing what you want to say on the board and using video all helps.

Having taught with no voice a few times I’d have thought it a useful exercise. It also focuses your other communication skills.

I've been to North Newton Primary today to help the Reception children to build a forest of mushrooms! These kids are only a month into Reception class! They made all of this, learning the technique, adapting it, building, sticking, painting, the lot. 😮

Photos from today's projects. Some small children's hands are carefully building some giant mushrooms! The children from reception class at North Newton Primary School have built this large display in just a couple of hours from scratch. The final image is like a forest of 3D relief mushrooms.
