Kim Gillingham

Creater of Drop Thought Kids, Author and teacher.

I've been working with children since I began teaching swimming at 16! I have a Masters in Education, worked on OWL, ChikaDEE and Chirp magazines and have been a Juniour school Science teacher for over 20 years. My fascination is encouraging children to think, wonder and have confidence with their own ideas as well as those of others. And yet, the working memory is short. Rather than create additional lessons, I drop in ideas and tools, disguise them in stories and characters and let children pick up what they need. Science teacher, dropThoughts Creator and Author for 6-9 year olds. de them—with confidence, compassion, and curiosity.
