Today I have been on a training course in mathematics. I am a primary teacher and have been learning about how to identify the gaps in a primary child’s education in maths. By finding the gaps, usually about understanding numbers and being afraid to play with numbers and have a good knowledge of place value.
If I had 29 wishes, a couple would be to help children have a good education, feel confident about themselves and feel safe. If I can help that, by using one of my passions of ICT, then it would be a great start to my wish list!
I have wondered many times today about where I might be in 4 years time at the next leap year. Will my own son be happy and successful in school? Will I have any other children? Will I still be in the same school teaching? WIll I be further along my path to becoming a head teacher? We shall see!


Hi Martin,
I was interested in your post as it made me stop and think about where I might be in four years time. My wife always says not to think too far ahead . She is probably right , (no definitely right). We should enjoy each day and get the most out of each day. We all have our hopes and dreams for ourselves and our children similar to yours but really we should just hope that they/we are all healthy and safe and fulfilled in our lives. Health is wealth. This blog has definitely enriched my day both in school and now at home. Best wishes.
