I am a Primary School Teacher in Victoria, Australia with a passion for all things learning! I believe in purposeful teaching that engages students and is differentiated to their individual needs. I create resources that are fun, engaging and meaningful - not simply worksheets. I know what it is like to teach, how time consuming it is and how often we need a helping hand. With all of this in mind, my resources are purposeful and practical and can be used over and over.
