About Me

Hi! I'm Barry. I'm the *only* author of this website.

I'm currently working as a mentor in a SEN environment with children between the ages between 11-16, and post-16, and the idea behind this website comes from about four years of hard work online in the midst of a pandemic (which we will leave unnamed, as let's face it, we still hear about it to this day!).

When we had the first lockdown in the UK in March 2020, we all (our school) went online with Microsoft Teams, YouTube and other websites. But what I have progressively found is that not everything is in one place, or the right place at the right time.

So, my thought was, why not collate all the resources, information and images that I have gathered over the years and put it onto one website? Great.

Great.

So now, fast forward to the beginning of the new academic year for 2024/25, and I have many more resources than I care to imagine, with people now showing me new things, and giving me ideas for the site. Which is fantastic. The website itself has had an overhaul with a complete redesign, and also some changes (names of sections have been changed, pages have also been renamed if needed) that have made it more appealing and flow better.

There are many features that the website offers - you can view images (hosted on the website, and also in Pinterest boards), watch YouTube videos, complete a wordsearch, and carry out practical activities that are spread through the website.

There are also now exam questions taken from actual AQA papers to test your knowledge with. These have been taken from past papers, and who knows, you might come across one similar in this year's papers. They are placed at the bottom of pages before the resources. It's a new idea, and one that has taken a while to implement while figuring out the best way to go about it.

While every effort is taken to be correct at any point with the information, I am only human, and if there are any spelling mistakes (there shouldn't be, but sometimes working late at night doesn't help!) you have my sincere apologies. The information itself being collated from other websites, is written in my own tongue (so to speak - ooh, a pun within a pun), and is aimed at the foundation side of learning to be more fun and interactive.
