I'm a primary school teacher, & ex-scientist, with 17 years experience. My passions are Maths and Science throughout the school. I spend a lot of time developing challenging and engaging, real-life resources. I co-founded My Science Club in 2021. The majority of my resources are free as I just enjoy the fact that other teachers might find them useful in their schools. If you do use them please leave a wee comment or rate them - all feedback is welcome as it helps me improve my own practice.
