About Me

Hi, I am a mum and a teacher and during this strange and uncertain times, I will be home with a 7, 4 and 2 year old. I teach 2 days a week at a Catholic Primary School. I thought i would start a blog to share some activities I will do with my kids as well as some advice wearing my teacher hat. Will I be going crazy at home with my children? Yes, but this is also a chance to bond with them and reassure them that they are loved and we will all be ok! As a teacher, normally when there is something big going on in the world, we are with our students, helping and guiding them as well as offering routine and stability. I think the fact that we aren't with our students during this time is the reason so many teachers are offering assistance and help to anyone they can. Please feel free to use anything on this Blog. i am by no means an expert or guru and a lot of the ideas and activities are not mine but have been shared with me by excellent, hard working teachers or fantastic, loving and real mothers.

Writing And Maths

I know it is the holidays but if we don't do a little learning now it will be really hard for Mr I to go from doing nothing academic to sitting down and learning with me for some of the day. I'm not anxious about the teaching element of home learning but I am anxious about having time to spend with both the older ones as well as working, maintaining some kind of routine for Mr L and running the house. Anyway I know I'm not unique and will get through it just like everyone else! 

We did dome writing today. Miss A can write her name in capitals but isn't great with lower case. Her task was to glue objects onto her name and start to learn the shape of the lower case letters in her name. 

Mr I and I attempted a very simple narrative. Oh gee! I don't think coffee will be enough today! I knew it would be hard so we made a dinosaur world and acted out a story so when it came to writing the story the ideas were already there.


We also worked on reading, writing, making and for Mr I subtracting numbers.
Miss A rolled the virtual dice, represented the number with Lego and then wrote the number. While Mr I roiled 2 dice, built a Lego tower of the larger number and subtracted the smaller number. He recorded the equation,
