I am a Reception Teacher & have been teaching for over 30 years. I love art, outdoor learning, being in nature & of course being with the children. I have a slight problem as I am a hoarder of books & love nothing more than sharing stories with our children. I am enjoying rejuvenating my creativity in making attractive and engaging continuous provision activities. I hope you enjoy joining me on my journey as I share what we are learning and how I am engaging little minds and their curiosity.
