Welcome to June’s round up!
How is the last half-term of the year already?! It is a very busy one of course for all of us… when isn’t it busy??
I have spent a lot of time on my new website in the past month and it is nearly where I want it to be; WHAT I want it to be is a reliable source of support to you all so do check it out and let me know how easy to use you are finding it. Have you listened to my podcast, Nattalingo’s natter yet? There are now 3 x 10-minute nuggets of practical ideas for the classroom.
Speak again in July, before we break up for the summer!
