About the store
I can't believe I've been in and out of classrooms for 22 years now! I'm not that old!! I started with a composite class of Year 2's and 3's. From there, I moved on to five years with Year 1. Then I had my own beautiful children and taught the occasional day with relief teaching. When I moved back into the classroom, I had a variety of Year 2, 3 and 5. Classrooms are heaven to me. They symbolise the possibility of what the world could become - and I just love the energy and buzz of small minds learning!

Year 1 Term Plan - Australia: On the Land and In the Sky
This might save you a bit of time. This is a unit plan we used for Year 1 (aligned to Australian Curriculum) to introduce day and night topics, seasons, weather, simple information reports on Australian animals, a variety of art techniques, personal memories, natural, constructed and managed features, local mapping and directions. As I can't put direct links to resources used, I've tried to put a photo and a reference so you can find and buy the resources we used yourself.

'Girls Get Along' Lunch Time Badges
You’re teaching lower primary and everything is sailing along smoothly until.....the girl fights start! What is it about girls and exclusion? I got tired of playing Judge Judy during my lunch time, so I came up with this idea which seemed to sort my girls out.
They realised exclusion was not an option, so after a brief discussion with me about sorting the problem out, all of the girls in the ‘group’ decided to wear a badge at lunch to remind them to listen to what was coming out of their own (no

Teaching style
I'm always modifying my teaching style. Each year it's slightly different to suit the types of children who have been entrusted to me. Generally, I like order and structure, but I'm also very creative and spontaneous. These seem to balance themselves out to create a peaceful, busy, fun and engaging atmosphere. I like cooperative and inquiry based learning. I like learning alongside the children and act more as a resource for their learning, rather than the expert in the room, although as times I love a good rant. I find this style engages the child an makes them realise they can take charge of their own learning.
