I've finally managed the Boxed Fortune Teller taught by Gerardo Gacharná Ramírez today @BritishOrigami Convention. Such a fun session. The larger paper definitely helped... #britishorigami #origami #perseverence

An amazing set of resources on this website. I am looking forward to using some in tutoring sessions this week. The enrichment section is my favourite 🙂. Thank you #mathsresources #saveoursundays
Last few resources added before I’m back to school tomorrow. Seems like a good time to remind everyone that there are now over 400 free resources on draustinmaths.com. Tell your maths teacher friends! #mathsresources #mathschat

So glad I decided to join the Autumn 2021 BOS Convention @BritishOrigami today. Only got my tickets last night and have really appreciated the focus and calm it has brought to my Sunday morning. Great first session with @DrLizzieBurns #britishorigami #origami

#ProudToBeNTU. Today I graduated with an MA in Education after 10 years studying alongside teaching. The last 4 yrs have been hard with several long hospital admissions. To actually attend in person, with family, was simply the best! Thanks for today's memories #classof2020

So excited to visit this. I submitted a postcard after taking part in several Twitter challenges. Through #30DaysWild & #Junebugchallenge I built friendships and shared my passion for art. So thankful to those people for seeing me through lockdown. @Nottswildlife @c0mplexnumber
Fabulous sneak peak of the Postcard Show over the weekend. Hope you enjoyed it if you managed to pop into the centre. It officially opens this Sunday 22nd August and runs until Sunday 5th September. (1/2) nottinghamshirewildlife.org/…

My first introduction to using #rekenrek at the #MathsConf26 with @rekenrek101. Amy was so passionate. I am looking forward to using the app on Monday in an intervention session. Build 38 + 29... I could see immediately it was 3 less than 70 🙂.

Prepping my fudge #dice for #MC26Cake competition. Who knew #fudge making was so time intensive and anxiety provoking! 😟 #MathsConf26 @LaSalleEd

Prepping my #numicon biscuits for @LaSalleEd #MC26cake competition. This is certainly my most favourite resource right now. Inspired by guidance created by @MrMJEllis & @DavisonMiss. I have found it invaluable in my 1:1 intervention work. #MathsConf26
