Today I led a virtual assembly for my daughter’s school, for this years No Pens Day Wednesday (scary!). I am so pleased that they decided to take part in the event to raise awareness about the importance of speaking and listening. Sounds like they had a great day.. can’t wait to hear more about it! ????

Speech, language and communication are fundamental skills for learning and life. Through a day of speaking and listening activities, with no pens allowed, we are raising much needed awareness about the importance of these skills. Find out more at www.ican.org.uk

Being organised is key when you’ve got children. Today I’ve spent time getting myself set for the week ahead….planning therapy sessions, making resources and catching up on emails. I’ve also planned our meals for the week, washed and ironed school uniforms and sorted out all our toys ready for the big day next month ????????
Tonight I can relax knowing that I’m prepared for the week ahead ????????
Happy Sunday Everyone! ????

Today I’ve been busy training TAs and Class Teachers across the country to implement NELI for children within their reception classes. A perfect way to spend a Friday workday!
