Last year was a year like no other and this year is proving to also have it’s challenges. Looking back I can see that I gained a great deal of new skills.

Students also have become more adaptable, quickly finding ways to communicate with others and stay up to date. Whilst I appreciate this new paradigm, nothing beats being in the classroom. I was able to do the Flame Test experiments with my students just before lockdown. And what a delight it was.
