🎄 Meow. Welcome to my gingerbread home. As we sit by the open fire with festive music and yummy treats a note flies down the chimney. Agent Elfy Kat is in trouble. She has forgotten to label all the kitten's gifts and has delivered them all around the house. Can you find your way through the gingerbread maze to find all the gifts and put the correct labels on the gifts before Katmas eve is over and the Kittens wake up? I love making math fun and helping learners develop their skills and confidence through creative challenges. Learners will have to solve puzzles presented on slides and use math and reasoning skills to solve the mystery. There will be individual and group tasks set and students will share their answers with the group. This is an inclusive class and I welcome students of all abilities from those who are learning to count to those who are confident in number recognition, counting, addition, and subtraction within 20. Please let me know of any additional needs so that I can differentiate my questioning. If you enjoy this class then you may like to join The Kitty Kat Detective Agency for some of my other adventure classes or at the Kitty Kat Detective Social Club. Best Festive Wishes 🎄, Detective Kitty Kat Meow McFluffy 🐾🐾

I trained at a top drama school in London and create devised theatre and inclusive dance performances. I have been a teacher in schools and further education for the last 16 years. I specialize in teaching drama, English, maths, enterprise, and working with students with learning disabilities. In December 2020 I left my full-time job teaching maths, drama, and citizenship in a secondary school for autistic learners to work full time at The Kitty Kat Detective Agency International.
I am passionate about inclusion and mastery. I am skilled at teaching complex concepts using simple visual methods. I use my acting training to retell magical stories with fun, maths puzzles, and games woven in with top tips for individual students on how to develop their maths and communication skills.
I set up The Kitty Kat Detective Agency International as lockdown began inspired by my son's love of mysteries, maths, and cats and I love it so much I never take my whiskers off.
