I am currently a Primary School Teacher and Special Needs/Assessment Coordinator in a medium sized rural school. I have been 'educating' in a variety of roles in a range of cities/countries in order to build my knowledge and understanding of what educating children should be about. Middle age is creeping up and I am slowing down! Therefore I have been at my current school approx. 8 years.

My classroom environment is very important to me and I love creating a place where children want to be everyday. I'm always bemoaning the fact that the school requisition covers the basics, but doesn't stretch far enough to cover all the other bright, stimulating display resources and the more unique fun games that enable children to learn, especially the children who require more individual attention.

From this has grown a weird 'passion' for classroom display and teaching resources. As I am always willing to put my hand in my pocket for those important little extras, I reasoned others would too. So.....what if I could provide these extras at a more reasonable cost that the tendered companies? Hence a little idea was born....selling on-line to teachers and parents alike! Spending enjoyable and challenging hours researching and sourcing suitable materials for people like me.

This little venture is two-pronged, as I also enjoy creating graphics and therefore now offer free downloads from my site, where teachers can avail of useful (mostly display) resources. This part of my project is in its' infancy as time is limited for creating. I am always happy to have third party offerings - fully credited of course!

In my personal life, I spend most of my time reading or walking my beautiful rescue border collie dogs. I also have a long-held passion for canoeing and brass ensembles!
