What a lovely surprise in the post today 🥰❤️ over the moon to have passed this qualification with merit. Pushed myself to my limits but absolutely worth it in the end.

For September and every month ❤️ In memory of my beautiful sister, the strongest person I’ve ever known, and all other souls who left us too soon.

No one can convince me this job isn’t the best. My first day with a brand new class today and I was handed this - homemade bracelet with my initials 🥰

Who else has woken up with no voice? 🤣🫠

‘Grief is the price we pay for love’ - Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022) Words adapted from a passage written by Dr Colin Murray Parkes #QueenElizabethII

How do you manage work-life balance? I made a promise to myself when I had children I’d never be too busy for story and bedtime. These moments every single night 🥰❤️ the best.

I can’t believe it’s almost 5 years since I last saw or spoke to my sister. Thinking of her and all the countless lives lost to mental health today and everyday, and sending love to anyone battling with the often overwhelming grief that comes with losing a loved one this way. ❤️

My best friend is an SEN teaching assistant at another school and has been asked to deliver a phonics intervention. She asked me a question but I’ll bet she was not prepared for this answer 🤣🤣🤣

I don’t know what it is about Colleen Hoover books but when I start one I’m unable to put it down. Started at 5pm. Had to put it down to get the children sorted. Finished at 10:26pm. Now to try and sleep 🫠🤣

Well, this is an unexpected (but totally expected cos I ordered every single one) parcel of absolute goodness to come home to on a Friday ❤️❤️❤️ I’m thinking “the teacher” first! Happy Friday to me 🌟🤩

Children understanding their window of tolerance is important in doing trauma work or just working with children in schools.This teaches children how to manage their emotions under stress by giving them a toolkit of inner resources to self-soothe & keep within their window. 🧠🌱

If you’re not using dual-coding and icons to support with recall… why not? This will support the children so much in their retelling of the Creation Story this week and again when we revisit in weeks and months to come. I can’t wait to see it in action! 💫

I’ve been putting these little notes in my daughters packed lunch. We started with little quotes - she acts like she’s not bothered but then last night she said “why don’t you do the alphabet for my notes this week?” so that’s what we’ve done! 🥰🥰
