A little about me

I plan and teach an English strand across early years groups, always alongside the class teacher. English is one part of the children’s wider learning, not a reason to push aside the language and context they bring to the day. I want activities to feel playful and purposeful, while the class teacher remains central to the group.

Songs, rhyme and movement can give children a memorable way to hear and try new language. I look for a clear sequence that can become a short session, with room for the teacher to connect it to the class’s current activity. If a request starts to make English the point rather than a useful language strand, I want to notice that and refocus.

Family communication needs the same care as classroom planning. I prefer to check English wording with the class teacher so that it is accurate and fits the family’s context. Resources are most useful when they offer a practical idea, clarify roles and help us support children without separating language from the rest of their learning.
