I have been a teacher for the last 12 years. I have a passion for education and believe that every child has the right to access education that is enjoyable, accessible, and challenging to them. I have taught children from 5-11 years old and enjoy the different challenges that each age group brings. I firmly believe that education should be creative and fun and that we should take every opportunity to teach children about the real world or link learning to skills they will need in later life. If we teach children to be great learners then they can use those skills and apply them to anything in the future.

​

I use the Year 2 England National Curriculum as the basis for my sessions; exploring the different elements of Science with demonstrations, investigations and activities and developing scientific thinking skills within experiments also. We will look at using and applying Maths skills within problems or practical situations as well as learning the basic skills needed to do this. We will look at all 4 operations as well as time, shapes, measures, directional language and money. We will also do some basic graph reading and creative exercises.

​

We will develop skills for reading and reading comprehension as well as an understanding of grammar for writing to allow for solid writing in grammatically correct British sentences.  We will look at spelling rules and give opportunities to write and explore a range of different text types.
