Love this idea ~ Children think about six things that are special to them: a season, person they'd like to meet, place, object, book or story and someone that is special to them. Everyone's will be different and that's what makes it special! ☀️

I'm really enjoying this book so far! It has been recommended to me by many and I can see why. So many potent and useful themes to discuss with children and adults alike!

@MissSnqt @PaulGarvey4 Hello! 👋 I'll be an NQT too! Scary, but the twitter world has been inspiring so far! ✨

[Maths 4 Kids @Maths4Kids]

A simple maths activity to set up. Easy to differentiate for different ages (Reception and Y3 here) and both enjoyed it :-)

Artist's Influence ~ We researched some artists and created some pieces of work based on the features of the artists' work. Lucy and I were inspired by Kandinsky and Matisse 🎨 @Tracey51820386

I've been encouraging my swimmers and performing arts students to learn new skills and find new things that make them happy. Ideally this is something other than computers in an attempt to keep their minds happier and healthier in these strange times. Here's one of mine!

Today’s art challenge...can you re-create a famous artwork using found objects from your home? 🏡

I miss my little superheroes so much 💔 Can't wait to get back so they can perform their show that they have worked so hard for! They make me so proud 💕

@kjparkes Hello. Hope you're well. I wrote this post about the work schools are doing in this tough time. Would you mind reading and possibly RTing? Thanks in advance.

Merlin's keeping us entertained as always! Today, he has been giving painting a try. He's not the most well-behaved pupil but he's very eager to please 😉

Walked 9km today and photographed everything that I saw that was yellow... 💛 A lovely mental wellbeing activity... Takes your mind off everything else for a while! ☀️
