Hello! This account is all about finding the space to breathe and focus in our hectic teaching lives. It’s these spaces (sometimes only a few nanoseconds long) which allow us to find the most useful response to enable our pupils to learn, progress and self regulate.

Today, I’ve been working with the Year 5 classes at Birchwood Primary. They are reading ‘Clockwork’ by Philip Pullman, so using that as inspiration, we made Sir Ironsoul, the mechanical knight from the story. 🤩
