"Just to say 'Thank you'. You are literally a God send today. I found GoMaths and Maths Map and Shine and Write etc. and wow! What a resource! I've found a resource we can use again and again with our classes and making excellent use of our ICT facilities as we should. I regularly use the Starter of the Day but I think I may be using resources a bit more intentionally from now on. Thank you. Transum is really quite something. Best wishes."
