This is me:

You are a hare. You are a bundle of energy and enthusiasm. Never one to stay still for long, you are at your happiest when you are in the thick of a lesson with children actively engaged and doing hands-on tasks. You are constantly bounding from one exciting learning opportunity to the next, and at times it can seem that you are in a constant flurry of motion. However, you always have things completely under control – with extra-sensory hearing and eyes in the back of your head, no class will ever get the better of you.

Not sure how accurate it is, I'll let my colleagues be the judge of that!

Here is a great display which I start with every year. Once you have made the lighthouse you can tailor the display to the needs of your maths group. Once I've finished with it for the term i simply roll it up ready for next year!!

Welcome

Welcome to my new teaching and learning blog where I plan to give teaching tips, lesson ideas, circle game ideas, display ideas and much more!!
