🍁On Thursday I ran a session on felting for Abbey Access Training’s well-being workshops. The group made poppies ready for Remembrance Day and did exceptionally well to put up with some arm ache in order to turn their wool into felt! They also felted a centre for their poppy and this morning I have sewn them all together. 🪡

If you were one of the lovely bunch who left their poppy behind on Thursday for sewing then you can now collect it from the reception desk at Abbey Access!

Each poppy has a bag attached with a couple of safety pins 🧷 and a magnetic strip (which can be glued on) so that you can choose how you want to display your poppy. 😊

Thank you all for coming! 🍁

The learners who are on the Everyday maths and English course with me at Abbey Access are selling the cakes they’ve made outside the cafe today until 1pm. Come on down before they go! 😊

Home schooling: ‘I’m a maths lecturer – and I had to get my children to teach me’ Many parents struggle with home schooling in lockdown. But how are three experts in maths, English and science faring?

This is true. Change a child’s self belief and the subject outcomes will change in turn.

Truth.
