This is all so frustrating! The evidence is there. Look at the impact within ten schools in Wales of a systematic synthetic phonics programme. glavincatalyst.co.uk/phonics/

I know that a number of people are looking out for progress with this. The new version of my curriculum tool will be shared with a few schools in early October. I just want to make sure that it does all that schools need. Version for schools in England and another for Wales.

In Bristol developing a tool for schools in Wales and a tool for schools in England. It helps - evaluate provision - identify cross curriculum opportunities - ensure curricular statutory requirements are met - identify gaps in provision - bring clarity to what is taught/ when.

The first women’s rugby world cup was very different from the high profile tournament currently taking place. If you would like to learn just how different, I recommend ‘Scrum Queens’ on iPlayer. My sister played in first ever women’s rugby world cup in 1991. Proud of her!

My dog, Luca, and I are not feeling very motivated today so have decided not to fight it but to go with it and have a chill day. Luca seems pleased with the decision!

Having painted and wallpapered all weekend, time to relax here with a glass of wine before an evening meal. Loving Sunday evenings in the summer break!

Love a Sunday evening in the holidays! After painting and decorating all day, loving an evening walk in the sunshine with my dog that just two weeks ago was close to death. Being mindful and counting blessings.

After a busy day, just resting in the shade of a hay bale. Schools can be extremely pressurised places at this time of year. There’s certainly no ‘winding down’ to the end it term. !!!
