Let's see in the New Year in Bloxburg in this fun build class, where we collaborate on my plot to make a big dance hall, and then before we go, our avatars can light up some fireworks and dance the night away! This class will be held in the Roblox game "Welcome to Bloxburg, and all learners will need to be an in-game friend on Roblox with me for the duration of the class. When class starts, I will give everyone building permissions on my empty plot. We will spin a wheel to find out who does which task, and then we will get to work! Tasks will include: Main stage Smoothie bar Dancefloor Luxury bathrooms Entrance Outdoor area (including fireworks) VIP Area Dining Area Once this is all complete, our avatars will put on their fancy clothes ready for our very own countdown! See in the new year with me in my Bloxburg Neighborhood!
Other Details
Learning Needs
I strive to create an inclusive space where all students feel welcome. As a neurodivergent teacher, I understand unique needs. If accommodations would help your learner succeed, please reach out—I’m happy to support!
Parental Guidance
The class will be conducted inside a Roblox game. It will be necessary to be an in-game friend with me for the duration of the class. Gamer-tags will also be visible to the other participants during class. The server is private, meaning only those enrolled and present in the class can access the session.
Supply List
A Roblox account, logged in is required. It's useful (but not essential) to have zoom and Roblox on separate devices.

Hi, I'm Astrid and I am a mum of two, and a teacher based in the United Kingdom. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Nutrition and Dietetics, and I have a Postgraduate degree in teaching Design and Technology. I have worked in schools for over 14 years, and am excited to bring my skills to an online platform.
I love to cook (unless it's dinner - e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y!!), to craft, and my guilty pleasure is gaming! I play Brawl Stars every single day, and I love Roblox (especially Bloxburg!) and Among Us! I am a HUGE Pokémon nerd and love to play Pokémon Go. Expect to see my classes based around these things, because when you love something, it's easy to enthuse others!
I love working with young people and sharing my love of craft & design, textiles, food and gaming, in a fun, engaging and inclusive way. Through seeing the difficulties of my own neurodivergent children in mainstream education, I know first hand of the importance of inclusivity, and strive to make my own lessons both enjoyable and accessible to any learner who wishes to enrol. I like to lead by example, and "make and do" along with the learners, so I am able to cater for a variety of learning styles.
Most of my classes are ongoing, weekly sessions, but these can be also used as one-time classes.
In the aftermath of these difficult times of social distancing, my gaming classes provide a great way for young people to safely connect with their peers and have fun!
I can't wait to welcome you to my classroom!

Subscription (ongoing) classes are billed weekly on a Sunday and can be cancelled on the learner page at any time in advance. Please feel free to attend my ongoing classes just once, by stopping the subscription after class.
