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.

Dealing With The Virus... 

Why should I wash my hands?


Miss A did an experiment at Kinder about germs. Each child was given glitter of a specific colour and asked to rub it on their hands. They then went about their playing and socailising. Soon after they were asked to look at their hands and see how they now had many colour glitter germs on their hands. Miss A came home to inform me that she learned about COVID-19 and it was very sparkly!

 So we did this experiment! 

 Fill a bowl with water.
Place pepper in the water
Stick in your finger. (Nothing will happen)
Put a squirt of soap on your finger.
Place your finger in the water.
Watch the pepper move away from the soap, just as germs do!

Here are a couple of good videos to show the kids to explain the virus.
