Posted on March 12, 2019January 19, 2021 by jenny

I love a bit of home learning. My 7 year old just loves science, so much so that she was awarded her Science badge at Beavers last night! We had fun trying some experiments at home together. So I knew she would enjoy trying some of the new National Geographic™ Kits which we were gifted….

My favourite part of the day is rushing home from work to pick my children up. I really miss them during the day, and working in a school has made me realise just how much goes on at school. My 8 year old will tell me exactly what he got up to, who he talked…

Did you celebrate International Women’s Day yesterday? The school I work in went all out for World Book Day but in comparison there was little mention of International Women’s Day (IWD) which was a shame.
