A day of Awe and Wonder! 💭 Such a lovely moment seeing the reactions to the flowers in the water (slightly similar to mine at Uni last year) 💫

Today we used Colourful Semantics for the first time and wow! Wonderful to see reluctant writers light up with so much confidence and pride! We also worked on our Must Do tasks, including creating patterns, showing incredible focus and determination all day to complete them! 🤩

Today in school we tried out a new, fun way of doing phonics, used some new materials to support numeracy. We played & added words to our working alphabet wall after reading a beautiful story about community, belonging, & having pride in where you live. 💫 What a wonderful Monday.

A year of love and loss saying goodbye to my gran & my best friend. Graduating, holidays,laughs with friends, memory making with Terri. And I finally got to live my dream & become a teacher. 2025 a reminder that life can knock the wind out of you and still hand you something beautiful 💫

Being a P2 Teacher & an Auntie to a 5 year old has a lot to answer for as to why Taylor Swift has been replaced by Kpop Demon hunters on my Spotify wrapped. 😳

Decided that today was the day to bring in ‘must do tasks’ I told my children they had to complete all 4 by the end of the day & write their name on the board when they had done each task. Delighted to see and hear how these little people are embracing choice and accountability! 🌟

Today we developed our understanding of regulation. Learners explored their backpacks & reflected on strategies & tools that support them when they experience big emotions. Lots of lovely chat about how important it is to Pause, choose & take the lead, to give our brain just what it needs! ✨

Today brought a wonderful ‘OH WOW!’ Moment as I shared my experience of mud painting with my class. The excitement was palpable, even just the photos sparked curiosity, well before their own hands got muddy. It was then a joy to watch them explore & connect with place and their community!

Today’s morning mindfulness challenge was to draw and write about something that made you smile this week. The delight on my face when one child showed me this 😍

ADHD is thinking about all the things you have to do, getting stressed about all the things, worrying about the consequences of not doing the things, but still feeling stuck and unable to do any of the things.

Today we read ‘Silly Billy’ which looks at children’s worries & how we cope with them. Grandma comes to help with some Guatamalen worry dolls. After our story many children expressed a wish for their own worry doll. So that is what we spent our afternoon creating, our own worry dolls!

Fridays outdoors in the orchard! 🌱 We explored the area, found LOTS of mini beasts & said hello to the chickens! 🐞🐛🐓 I was super proud when we found the snails…obviously 🐌

This! 👀 I thought I was lazy or broken. Turns out my brain just works differently. Now, to learn how to work with it, instead of fighting against it and that feels like the start of something a little more kind! divergentcoachkelly.substack.com/p/why-adhder...

I kicked off my day with my P2 class I’ll be teaching next year by reading them one of my favourites 🤩 I’ll never tire of seeing the wonder on children’s faces when I read this book! Afterwards, we began turning our classroom into a home by creating some brilliant self portraits!

This week in P6, we continued to use play in writing, this time with a focus on poetry. Children discovered the joy of language in motion. Poetry became a playground full of rhythm, voice, and imagination. #UoEpgdeP @morayhouse.bsky.social

What better way to chase the weekend sun than with family by your side, views that steal your breath, and uni work unfolding gently in quiet moments. Feeling calm, collected, and exactly where i am meant to be ☀️

Today in Primary 6 we focussed on children’s rights & explored Articles 31 & 24. Thoughtful discussions nearly brought me to tears! We made self-care backpacks, danced, built Minecraft scenes & created Play-Doh animations, all led by the children. They learned, played & felt pure joy! 🌈💛 #UoEPGDEp

Happy birthday to my absolute chaos agent! 7 years, you’ve ate 3 important documents, 5 irreplaceable books & 2 rare records. My shadow, therapist & reminder that nothing is safe if it has paper attached. Thanks for teaching me patience, unconditional love, and how to attach doors to book shelves.

Week 1 with Primary 6 ⭐ It’s been an absolute pleasure getting to know the children, so much child-led learning happening! I was amazed at how seamlessly digital technology is integrated into their learning. And, I even made a new friend... a wobble board! #UoEPGDEp @morayhouse.bsky.social

Life has a way of guiding us toward exactly what we need ✨🌿 — connections, moments, and insights that feel destined. Today, while at university, I noticed a small door slightly ajar and felt drawn to peek inside. That simple choice led me to an invisible thread I’m so grateful to have followed!
