Calm… Peace… Tranquillity… we all need some!
Calm… Mindfulness…Good Mental Health… Calm, peace, and tranquillity is something that we all need! We live in such a busy world, whether so much going on, especially at the moment where we are in back-to-back meetings was sat in our front rooms looking at a monitor, or via a lap top or even TV screens as monitors.

One of the most useful apps I have come across… Continue reading Calm… Peace… Tranquillity… we all need some!

Instead of brimstone… Continue reading Positivity is Key to positive and lasting awareness!
Use local Dyslexics to inspire your students…
Local inspiration! Educators please think before you use famous dyslexics to try and inspire your dyslexic students! We all love to hear about famous successful dyslexics, it makes most of us very proud and pleased for them and their successes; however, using them as inspiration and a way to empower your students may actually be having the opposite effect! Many years ago I used to work in a secondary school. One day I was working with a fab bunch of teens, who were sadly disengaging with education. I had actually been told that it was too late to work with them (yr10 & yr11) of course me being me, I made sure that these were the students that I started… Continue reading Use local Dyslexics to inspire your students…
