I have been teaching for over 23 years (wow - that's a long time!) I have taught in a several different schools mainly in Early Years and Key Stage 1. I have also spent some time as a supply teacher when my children were little and taught in all classes from nursery up to year 6. So I have quite a lot of experience! I love making resources and sharing them with the children in my class. I feel it's important to add those little extra details to make resources appealing to them.
