An introduction...

It is mid August and I am in the middle of the summer holidays. I have decided to start a blog to document some of my thoughts, experiences and ideas linked to my profession.

So who am I?

I am a 24 year old Reception teacher living near London in the United Kingdom. I teach reception aged children in a leafy middle class school and just finished my NQT year.


Why write a blog?

Several reasons really.

• I am interested in the Internet and have been considering a blog for a while. 
• I think in my profession where everyday is different, I will have plenty of ammunition for interesting and amusing posts.
• I am slightly unusual in that I am a man who teaches in Reception and therefore might be able to discuss issues in a different way to women.
• During my training I read a lot of blogs and forums and feel I now have some experience that I can use to help other people. 

More to follow shortly...

I plan to keep this blog confidential so no real names will be used in posts.
