In reply to Doug Belshaw‘s suggestion on his blog of sharing the blogs you have liked in 2009, below are just a few of mine that have significantly inspired me this year. As their are lots of teaching blogs I like to read, I have made my Google reader list of teaching RSS feeds available to subscribe to here. If you write a blog that a Primary School Teacher would find useful or interesting, please let me know about it on twitter @primarypete_.
