Howdy peeps, how are ya? (I really want to know, I'm not just asking for the sake of it.) I just wanted to say how much little things become big things that make a huge difference....and that we should stop and appreciate them. If you looked at my day yesterday, it looked like most other [...]
Howdy Peeps! Please tell me I'm not the only one singing Grease 2 songs... 😳😁 How are we all? I'm sorry I've been MiA, but starting 12-hour days has kinda worn me out. I am loving the new job and the cute, enthusiastic small people 😍 they're so keen! I need to plan lots of [...]
Howdy Peeps! Weird times indeed. It is school leavers day for many yr2 and yr 6 pupils....and ALL GCSE and A-Level teens! There are no proms or leavers books, many friends already not in school, but it is still a special day and the start of their next chapter. My daughter will not go to [...]

Howdy Tuesday Peeps! Do you have a child in Year 2 or 6? Do you know one, teach one, run a club that includes these year groups?? Go easy on them. This week (or in the weeks to come) many of them will face the stress and exhaustion that comes with mock exams. For many [...]
Howdy Peeps! Happy St David's day to any Welsh peeps reading this. 🌾🐲🐉 1st March is an important day for anyone with children moving up schools. Today is the day to see if your little one got their first choice school. If you didn't get the school you expected, don't panic. You can appeal the [...]
