#1192 Christine Persaud, Film Maker – Supporting New Creators.
In 2021 I was approached by Christine Persaud, a film maker, who wanted to feature my process in creating the series of inquiry videos aimed at young learners.
She was hired by the Global Interagency Security Forum (GISF) to help their members create better training programmes and grow awareness of appropriate storytelling.
Christine interviewed and filmed my video creation process. You can watch her video below:
I am pleased with her video and grateful to be asked.
And very happy to help others create content…
#1190 Worms!
During May’s rains, my kindergarten students discovered WORMS in the playground.
And the world came to a screeching halt. Plans changed. Educators pivoted and we started investigating the world of worms! Read alouds, making and measuring plasticine worms, writing about worms and… the highlight was a visit from 36 wiggly, lovely, live worms.
It was muddy.
It was messy.
I was GLORIOUS!

#1177 Inquiry Video Anniversary (and Subscriber Goal!)
Shortly after COVID shut down live schooling a year ago, I created a video to support students learning from home…
Almost a year later, 70 inquiry videos support young students learning from home, public schools and forest schools. The videos support math, language, science through questions and curiosity – usually with an outdoor focus.
Since April 2020, the videos have boomed a little boom. At time of writing videos have attracted 981 subscribers. My goal is to exceed 1000 subscribers by the video anniversary – April 25, 2021.
