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.

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.
