questions continued and I realised that this was a common thread
amongst first-time parents. So I decided to create a website aimed
at bridging this gap – helping parents through the education process.
So, Panda-Education was born. A website, a Facebook page, a
Pinterest page and Twitter feed later and I now have lots of amazing parents following this incredible transitional journey with me. I
am so proud to be able to offer support and guidance. I am not a
guru; I am just a Mum and a teacher. I love my job and I feel so
privileged to work at such an amazing school with supportive and
inspiring colleagues.
My top tip, when asked how to help children learn at home is - Go
outside, be active, make memories and have fun. Parents feel that
they have to sit down and do structured activities in order to progress, but actually, this is not always true. Children are all different
and if your child doesn't 'sit' to learn, that is fine. Embrace their
learning style and pack it with fun opportunities to learn; ones
which I bet you are already doing without realising it is actually
'learning'!
And remember, not everything in life is black and white, but you
are doing a brilliant job.
