Tiny Sponges
My Group and my page are great communities of like-minded and supportive people. In them, and in this blog site, I will be sharing with you activities, ideas, what I know, what I find out, anything that is relevant and informative. I have years of experience of creating some of the magic. I’ll show you what I know, what I do – and I hope that together we can share ideas too – because you’re never too old to learn! What are you waiting for? Let’s go! |

Liz Taplin Coaching
I am a coach working with teachers, and others across the education sector, on matters relating to their personal and professional development. Having been in the teaching profession for over thirty years I have experienced the unprecedented increase in demands placed on us and I am well placed to support colleagues to enjoy their journey of becoming (and continuing to be) a successful teacher, or as intrepid explorers moving into new ventures beyond the classroom. |

Six Bricks
Six Bricks activities are short, simple exercises, many of which only take a couple of minutes to do. They are not a curriculum but they are designed to support all areas of development in the curriculum. They help to wake up a child’s brain and get them moving, thinking and remembering.
Every child has a set of six bricks, one of each colour (Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Light blue and Dark blue). The teacher can then quickly and easily facilitate an activity at any time. Repetition brings about better organization of the brain and the secret of the success of these activities lies in their regular repetition which enables children to consolidate new knowledge. Six Bricks activities are in development all the time and there are now more than 300 activities supporting different areas of development. Activities take just a couple of minutes and can be used to target specific skills areas such as bilateral integration, crossing the mid-line, working memory, depth perception, inhibitory control, numeracy, literacy and more…
