I love watching children’s thinking come to life and concrete, pictorial and abstract representations can work alongside each other seamlessly to let us see a child’s thoughts.
I wonder what you think the question was that Esmae was answering here?

✔️Just do it✔️
Not just Nike’s slogan but my reminder to stop waiting for perfect.
Sometimes one bold step is all it takes to ignite something amazing!
Trust it. Go for it.

@TraceyHamer3 @Sarah_Shanks_ Sounds great! Are they available anywhere to read?

[Sarah Toft @stoftuk]

Picture books and maths are a favourite combo of mine.
Whilst dropping off donations at a charity shop I had a look to see if there were any bargain books for my nephew.
This one jumped out at me for obvious reasons but can you see the problem(s) I might be having with it?!

@TraceyHamer3 @Sarah_Shanks_ I’m afraid I’m not an artist but the sound of your poems really interest me. What age group are they aimed at?

[Sarah Toft @stoftuk]

@TraceyHamer3 Just had a great suggestion from @Sarah_Shanks_ about using it as a discussion point around non-examples which is a great idea and I will definitely be doing it when he is older!

Time for a quick celebratory brew after successfully delivering a new @WhiteRoseEd TA webinar that I have written.
It was full of wonderfully engaged TAs looking to make a difference in the way they support children.
