I use songs from You Tube as a screen share. The content from this is safe and child appropriate. I also use Canva to create my slides for my lesson plans. The photos I use are a mix of Canvas and my own. All are child appropriate and focus on the teaching objective during the class. I am happy to send a preview to a parent if asked.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello 
My name is Teacher Rachael. I am a qualified Nursery Teacher with over 30 years experience of teaching children in nurseries and Pre- schools all around the world.
I currently teach English as a second language and I am a home school mum of two child who are now 11 years and 14 years old.
I am very passionate about how children learn through play and through their imagination.
I am looking forward to hosting circle times to make learning fun. We will learn about letters, numbers, shapes, nursery rhymes and we will sing songs and listen to stories together.
Throughout the year my circle times will be topic based so we will also learn about the Seasons, the weather, different festivities, animals, people who help us, mini beasts to name just a few.
I encourage my students to bring along their items to our show and tell times to enhance their learning.
I’m really looking forward to seeing you in my classroom very soon.
