That sounds ace, thank you. Will send an email address over. I'm supporting a trainee with VFW and it's something I didn't do a huge amount of when in the classroom.

I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this guide on pupil motivation and engagement πŸ‘‡

It tackles the constant tension between wanting children to achieve AND thrive & presents an easy to read, research-based approach that shows you can definitely do both!
