🤩 Two different learners, two different ways to support writing.

My one to one tuition sessions are always bespoke and fit each individual child’s needs and style of learning.

💜 Activity 1 was supporting a young person with their sentence writing and speed of writing.

💜 Activity 2 was supporting a young person with learning to read and write the Year 1 Common Exception Words.

Some fantastic learning and engagement.

📆 It’s Neurodiversity Celebration Week 💙

As someone who works with many different children, I see every day how incredible neurodivergent minds are. 🧒I see creativity, curiosity, unique problem-solving and alternative perspectives.

Neurodiversity is something to understand, support and celebrate. This week is about raising awareness, challenging stereotypes and recognising the strengths and individuality of those with neurodivergent profiles.

Every brain is different. Every brain is valuable. 🌈

My 'office' for the morning 😍🎵
Leicestershire Music

This challenge was all about speed, accuracy and spotting sound patterns fast 👀📚

This kind of quick-fire activity is great for:
👍🏻 Building fluency
👍🏻 Strengthening decoding skills
👍🏻 Boosting confidence
👍🏻 Adding a bit of fun competition

(It also didnt take me long to knock these up on the computer. I used Canva, but you could make the cards in Word easily too).

Phonics and reading activities should be engaging, purposeful, and just the right level of challenge — helping our children to feel successful while also stretching their skills.

😂 Having taught in Primary School classrooms for 20 years I experienced this many a time.

Anyone else feel the familiarity of this?

😬 Anyone else felt guilty for not immediately reading the government White Paper yesterday when it was announced?

I have... We've waited so long; I know it's significant and important; it's about the future of the children I work with...

Here's a gentle reminder though that ive told myself...

You do not need to drop everything and read a 120-page government document.
Nothing is happening overnight.
There are no sudden rule changes tomorrow.

👀 Will I read every single word, digest every detail, analyse the pros and cons, try to understand what it means for the future of SEND? Of course.

But today, the daily stuff matters. The children I'm supporting today, tomorrow, next week... they need support now from the best version of me (which is not one who spent valuable hours pouring over a document right now).

My message is, if you’re tired, busy, stretched, or just don’t have the headspace — its ok.

Your energy is precious. Spend it where it matters most. 💛

📰 Many of you will have seen the headlines this week about possible changes to SEND support prior to the Governments' expected release of their White Paper next week.

I know how quickly those kinds of headlines can make your heart sink.

When you’re having to juggle meetings, reports, school conversations and advocating daily for your child, the thought of “support being reviewed” or “eligibility changing” feels worrying.

Here's what Im trying to remind myself:
📎 Nothing has changed yet.
📎 These are reports ahead of the official White Paper next week.
📎 Current EHCPs and SEND support remain in place unless formally reviewed.
📎 These are not confirmed changes.

For now, while we wait, be kind to yourself.
You are already doing an amazing job advocating for your child.

😬 Being a parent comes with a lot of opinions.

Sometimes the choices we make — for our children, our families, our own wellbeing — won’t make sense to everyone else...

✔️ That’s okay.

Your job isn’t to meet everyone else’s expectations or to explain yourself.

Trust your instincts. 💛

👋🏻 Fellow educators -
Tell me you’ve been teaching for years without telling me you’ve been teaching for years…

• TV on wheels
• OHP transparencies
• The art drying rack
• Chunky counting cubes
• Wobbly wooden desks

If you’ve ever wrestled with a projector bulb five minutes before assembly; dealt with the extreme excitement when the TV is wheeled in to your classroom; had a seemingly never ending line of children with dripping paintings waiting for you to get their artwork on the drying rack; broken up 'sword' fights because you thought it was a good idea to get the maths cubes out... 😂 I hear you.

08/02/2026

So... 🤣 I may have gone overboard on the Minecraft themed planning for a tuition session. What do you think?

Do you have a child who is better motivated to learn when activities are themed around their interests?

Can you guess what recent themes we've had at Reach Education and Wellbeing?
