If you don't already know me, my name is Roxy and I have been a teacher for 13 years now. I am a Mum to my little 4 year old and I am children's book author.
I majored in Science and IT at university and I love creating resources that spark questions, encourage obseration and hands-on learning.
I also believe that us teachers should work smarter, not harder. So this resource will help you do just that :)
Thank you for being here and I hope you love this resource as much as I do.
