My eight year old son Will’s into all things STEM so he was psyched to test out the new @littlebits Avengers Hero Inventor Kit! The kit’s create-play-invent cycle means the learning opportunities are endless! As a parent, I love the simple in-app instructions, written in terms kids actually GET. Will used his fine motor, reasoning, comprehension and creative skills to put together a circuit which helps power this gauntlet arm, which he can then code for new powers! What an awesome toy, definitely one for kids like him, aged 8 and up and into technology. Bring on the holidays so he can go nuts! (And maybe let his brother have a turn...) #stem #learning #teacherkidlife #birthday #christmas #gift #science #maths #technology #interests #kids #boys #girls #future #coding #program #teachersofinstagram #aussieteachertribe #aussieteachers #mothersontime

This boy and his books. If it’s not a book in his hand, it’s a dinosaur. I love that my kids all treasure books and enjoy reading. Do your kids love to read? Do you? #books #literacy #toddler #baby #kids #children #literature #read #dropeverythingandread #love #family #readingtime #timetoread #leisure #weekend #relax image: @lovestoriesbylauren

Had the most lovely time on Sunday watching Christopher Robin @eventcinemasgardencity . It’s been a really busy couple of weeks as I’ve started a new job, and we are nearing the end of a big term of football and school commitments! A Pooh quote got me right in the feels, though: “Doing nothing often leads to doing the very best something.” How very perfect, Pooh - a reminder to slow down and clear the schedule a little! The film will be out everywhere in time for the school holidays, with preview screenings this weekend. You’ll love it. Take tissues. #imnotcryingyouare #family #familytime #pooh #tigger #piglet #eeyore #fourkids #aussiemum #fathersday #teachersofinstagram #classic #movie #movienight #familydate #schoolholidays @disneyaunz

Was served up my weekly dose of working mum guilt by the daycare lady yesterday. Collecting Lach (22 months-ish) from Toddler Room and she hit me up about his vocab. Now, he’s not a huge talker in public (by comparison, his sister was having full arguments in structured sentences by his age), but he’s definitely within the right range, with about 25 words and short sentences. She thinks he’s “Too quiet”. I told her whatever he’s not saying at kindy he’s saving up to yell around the house. As we were talking, he grabbed his bag, ran to the door and screamed back at her “No! Shut the door!”, adding “YOLO!!!!” for good measure as he took the bolt. #yolo #youonlyliveonce #hatersgonnahate #shutthedoor #getmeoutofhere #vocab #toddler #daycare #workitmama #fastescapes #workingmum #teachermum

Sunday = teacher prep day! Who else is at home gearing up for another week of educating beautiful young minds?! I’m so loving my maths groups this semester, I’ve stepped out of my early childhood comfort zone and am teaching the most gorgeous grade fours in the world (not biased at all). I anticipated that there might be some grumbles when I withdrew them from their class groups, and found all of these great games which I’m using for warm-ups on @teachstarter . But I needn’t have worried, these kids come to me with enthusiasm and a spring in their step. All credit to their classroom teachers who build them up and make them feel special. Love my passionate teaching team and wonderful kids. #maths #lovemaths #makeeveryclassroombuzz #teachstarter #placevalue #resources #engage #inspire #educate #gradefour #fourthgrade #teachermum #teachermom #learning #teachsmarter #careergoals
