I am passionate about learning that is tailored to children's interests and gives lots of opportunity for children to be creative and critical thinkers. I think it's important that learning materials cater to a variety of learning styles and I try to make my resources have real-world applications whenever possible. These resources will not only engage your learners, but they'll save you time, so that you can focus on doing what you do best.

Inspire your students with this set of 15 posters of highly regarded women who worked or currently work in STEM careers. These will be great for International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Women’s History Month, or all year round in your classroom or science/math/technology class.
I created this set with two purposes in mind. Firstly, to inspire our young girls and women to consider STEM careers by seeing women who have gone before them, and secondly, to encourage them with inspiring quotes of resilience and motivation for their daily life and science/math/technology education.
I have intentionally chosen women from diverse backgrounds, across a range of STEM fields, from the past and present, so that our students can relate to them, and are therefore, more likely to see themselves doing something similar.
There are two design styles and two color choices. You could choose one set or mix and match.

Learning to weave a kete is a fun activity that enriches children’s learning about traditional Māori crafts. It can be used during Matariki to celebrate this special time of year or at any time of the year to teach children the skills of weaving. It is also a great way to build fine motor skills.
There are three differentiated versions to choose from:
The easiest level uses three strips of coloured paper and is ideal for young learners and those with limited fine motor skills.
The medium level also uses three strips of paper, but the number of under/over movements has increased.
The hardest level is great for older children and uses five strips of paper.
This activity is ideal for the whole class, small groups, early finishers, rotating stations, and library sessions.
I hope you and your children enjoy weaving their kete!
