September is just around the corner… and so are my NEW groups!! 💜

I’ve been busy getting everything ready for the new school year, and I’m really excited about the groups we have coming up.

We’ve got support for Year 1, Year 3, Year 4, Year 6, Year 7 and 11+, plus something a little different… 🎨 Art Club! (Sorry, Year 2, we'll get something for you soon too!)

The groups are kept small, with a maximum of 4 children, so there’s plenty of opportunity for support, questions, encouragement and (as always!) lots of confidence building along the way.

Have a little look through the carousel to see what's happening each day 👀

Spaces are limited, so if you think one of these groups might be a good fit for your child, send me a message and I’ll get you booked in / answer any questions.

Edit: slight swap. The year 4/5 group is now Tuesday 6.15-7.15, the Year 6 Maths group is now Wednesday 6.30-7.30 :)

Highly recommend Jade for anyone looking for a dog walker. She takes Skye for wild woodland walks on my busy tutoring days, and I'm so happy I've found someone I can trust. Skye is a big fan too!

Just a little updated ‘About me’. A lot has changed since my last ‘About me’ back when I started this page! I remember it so well, just thinking, ’Oh well, what have I got to lose…’ then along came my first enquiries 🥹 & then my first meet and greet, our little Teddy! I didn’t lose anything, I gained soooo more than I could’ve ever dreamed! That little niggling feeling inside me, I knew I’d be good at this one! Id lacked confidence in things I’d tried before but I knew I was at home in the outdoors and been a natural with animals since being a kid.

I knew I always wanted to work with animals but had no idea doing what? Until my best girl Lassie became too old to walk very far, I missed walking dogs so thought I’ll walk other people’s! But take them out to places me and my Lass loved so much. 🏔️🌲🌳 I vowed never to do a street walk! 😂

It’s been a learning curve and still is but I never stop reaching. I completed my first course back in January with the MDWA and plan to continue learning to better myself for the animals in my care ❤️

And thank you as always each and every one of you for believing & trusting in me with your precious fur babies! V

🎨 What a summer it's been so far!

I honestly can't believe how popular the art camps have been. When I first decided to run them, I wasn't really sure how they'd go... and now we've had 4 brilliant weeks, with all 4 of them completely sold out! 🥹

I thought I'd share a little look at what we've been getting up to...

🌊 Under the Sea
We kicked things off with fish sculptures and huge abstract underwater backgrounds. I loved seeing how different everyone's finished pieces were!

🤠 Toy Story
This one was SO much fun! We made slime, moving Rex dinosaurs, robots and Slinky Dogs. There was lots of building, making and figuring out how to get things moving!

🌵 Cactus Creations
The children decorated their own plant pots and created their very own cactus gardens. Lots of painting, construction and some very creative cactus designs!

TOMORROW'S ART CAMP ---> 🚀 Space Adventures
We will black off into space for the day, creating planets, galaxies and astronauts. Lots of experimenting with colour and different techniques.

And honestly, the best bit for me has been watching the children get completely lost in what they're doing.

They're making their own decisions, trying things out, solving little problems, chatting, laughing and being proud of what they've created.

That's exactly why I wanted to run these camps.

I really wanted to give children a whole day where they could just create. No right or wrong answer. No worrying about getting it perfect. Just have a go and see where their ideas take them. ❤️

And the fact that so many children have been asking when they can come back makes me very happy indeed! 🥰

A huge thank you to all the parents who have supported the camps so far. I genuinely can't thank you enough.

Bring on the rest of the summer! 🎨✨

Here are the highlights 😁

When you think of reaching maths, it's easy to picture pages of sums and written methods... but that's not how children learn best.

Before children can confidently add, subtract or use written methods, they need to understand what numbers actually mean. That's where these resources come in.

🎲 Giant fluffy dice make maths fun and get children learning through play.

➖ Number lines help children see where numbers live and make counting and calculating so much easier.

🔟 Ten frames are amazing for helping children spot patterns, build number bonds and really understand numbers.

🧱 Base ten helps children see place value instead of just trying to remember it.

🟡 Numicon is one of my favourites because it gives children a visual picture of numbers that just clicks for so many learners.

⭕ Sorting rings are brilliant for developing thinking skills, spotting patterns and using mathematical language.

These aren't just classroom extras—they're the tools that help children build real understanding and confidence. Once they've got that solid foundation, the written methods make so much more sense.

I'd love to know... did you use any of these when you were at school? Or are any of them new to you? 💛
