September 2018 – STEM Challenges
Hi everyone,
I hope the first full week back is going smoothly for you all. I am loving my maternity leave, Lara, Sonny and I are enjoying ourselves tremendously. It is actually so busy looking after a baby, a dog and a house, oh and a fiancée too. How will I fit work in in a few months?!
I see so many people entered the https://www.prim-ed.com/
competition on my page to win the brand new STEM box set. I thought I could share some ideas on here too seeing as there was such an interest.
