I am an over-thinker. I fall victim far too often to giving my thoughts far too much time and attention. I replay past conversations or events over in my head, or get caught up worrying over something in the future – even an insignificant or imagined one! In particular, when it involves things beyond myContinue reading “Something to think about…”

January: The time of year I’m waking up in darkness, going to work in the dark and then driving home in the fading dusk. Motivation is at an all time low for me on weekdays during the winter months. It’s no wonder at this time of year we often say we have the ‘January Blues’.Continue reading “Winter Skies”

Yes, I know! It’s been quite a while since I last shared a blog with you all! Since my last post at the beginning of summer, I will admit that I’ve been caught up with other things, particularly going back to work, that my blog writing has been neglected.

However, I have recently experienced for myself what it is like to walk inside a tunnel,Continue reading “Tunnel Vision”

Easter is the season that reminds us of new beginnings. Spring is happening, colours change, new life is growing, flowers are breaking through and the days are getting lighter. It is the time of change; a moment where things seem brighter and more hopeful. When we think back to that first Easter, the disciples wereContinue reading “New Beginnings”

I think we’re all secretly pleased when we get a new follower on Twitter, Instagram or similar platform, and we watch that number increase. It’s natural to enjoy feeling important or popular. Sometimes though it can become almost like an obsession! I saw a quote the other day which really got me thinking: Our focusContinue reading “Follow Request”

You might not have been aware, but it has been Children’s Mental Health Week. So, this week with my Reception class we have been talking about what this means, how we are feeling, and exploring how we can express our emotions through colours. I used the children’s book ‘The Colour Monster’ by Anna Llenas asContinue reading “The Colour Monster 🎨”

What a start to 2021! Yet another national lockdown!! My day has been spent planning out six weeks worth of remote learning, organising activities and adapting lessons for key worker children, and just getting my head around the idea that we are now back at the beginning, where this all started. To say I’m feelingContinue reading “Give me strength!”
