Over the past 2 years, I have paid more attention to the way handwriting is taught than at any other point in my career. Handwriting seemed a fairly simple thing that pupils would just pick up with a few lessons on letter formation. I was wrong! Here are some things I think about now that I didn’t always consider before…

When people say behaviour management is about ‘building relationships’, there’s some truth to that, but it’s *how* to build relationships that trainees need to know. Without that, it’s useless advice. Not wrong, just useless.

Was going to write a to-do list in prep for my SENDCO time tomorrow but decided to do a reverse - a “what I’ve already done list”. Amazing for my well-being to see how far I’ve come in 6 weeks 💪🏼♥️ we need to focus on what we have done rather than what’s still to do sometimes!
So proud of my daughter. She got through a tough selection day to be offered a conditional offer at her first choice university. Her first step to becoming a children’s social worker 🥰
