Oh and one last thing - I no longer work at the school where I taught at the time so the email address I’ve given is no longer active. So should you feel inclined to send me any of your pupils’ writing or if they have any questions for me, just contact me here on X please 🙂

And whilst it’s pitched at Y5 I reckon you could easily make a few tweaks and pitch it to younger year groups.

I created this free resource to go along with the kids’ book I had written. And, yes, the full text is included as a PDF so this is not a sales pitch! Hopefully there’s something in there for you to adopt and adapt if you have the capacity to do something festive in English.

@WestfieldPrimar @OakNational Oh that’s wonderful! I was the creator of that lesson. That’s the first time I have ever seen one of my lessons being used by pupils. Hope you and your pupils are enjoying the Oak Maths materials.

So, having been hesitant to leave the classroom last September, I am really excited to share that I will be returning to the classroom again!! And, even more excitedly, as an Associate Assistant Head to lead maths at a wonderful school. So why go back?? ⬇️ a thread 🧵…(1/n)

@OakNational Really great to be with you! I’ve had a fantastic few months so far making the content. I feel like some really exciting things are afoot with Oak Academy.

Little did I know when I wrote this article that I would be getting the opportunity to bring the materials to life as fully-resourced content alongside a really lovely team of creators for Oak Academy. What an honour. Lots of units already on the website. Check them out.

If you’ve got any interest in the NCETM Curriculum Prioritisation materials, my school used them throughout the last academic year and here are my honest reflections. Spoiler alert - I’m a fan. Just a few things you might need to consider. #mastery

Today I began a brand new chapter of my career working for @MEIMaths - and what a marvellous first day it was, meeting an absolutely lovely bunch of new colleagues and learning new skills. Cannot wait to see what the year ahead has in store.

@Mrs_K_Fahey I did indeed! With all three of my ‘grown up’ novels (and I use that term loosely at some points in books one and three 😜) I got them out on Kindle first and then the paperback versions followed shortly after. Please do message me if you want any advice at that point.

@craigtilstone I've been writing for a year now as it's generally during half terms. It's a fantasy novel with mystical creatures & an evil presence that lurks in the darkness. Alliances are formed & a great battle for freedom & good will eventually take place. Did you self publish Craig?

So... I had so many plans to complete my book over summer but I'm on chapter 9, have writer's block and almost feel like chucking the whole thing out the window! I need some encouragement. #perseverence #authorwannabe #writersblock #summer

@74Fleming @FlyingHighTrust Thank you Kerry. That’s incredibly lovely of you. It was genuinely the biggest pleasure and honour working with the lovely SCITT cohort this year. I wish you all the very best x

This week after an absolutely wonderful and eventful ten years working for the @FlyingHighTrust (to whom I am indebted) I said goodbye to my school. Exciting new challenges outside the classroom begin in September!

Extended problem solving opportunities are, I believe, the best way to foster a love of maths in the children - and build up mathematical resilience. The fist pumps and beaming smiles when they finally crack a problem with which they've been grappling are always a delight to see.

dropbox.com/scl/fo/fz4ttxu… Hope I'm okay to share this Crystal Maze Maths game - I'm not the author! An oldie but goodie. Had the most wonderful morning with my Y5s doing it as a problem solving carousel. The activities are rich and engaging and it was wonderful to feel that buzz.
