We got ofsteded. I am a perfectionist that rewrote all my lesson plans and SOWs. Then I got a horrendous head cold and am now frantically catching up on everything. Today’s post is brought on my contemplating a popular YouTubers ‘addressing the commenters’ video: I find her take on on improving and developing as an […]

I’ve just been away to London for three days and I took some sketching implements with me. As a follower of Liz Steel, Teoh Yi Chie and Path Southern Pierce (warning, you’ll walk away with a new foundation pen and a portable palette) I gathered up my materials and decided i would make use of the train ride down to […]
