Oops

In Oops, Hywel Roberts shares reflections from his teaching career, focusing on practical approaches to engage children through narrative, drama and imaginative pedagogy.

The book collects classroom stories, techniques and insights aimed at helping teachers create learning experiences that feel meaningful and connected.

Roberts presents accessible strategies that prioritise context, curiosity and emotional safety to 'protect children into learning.

' Rooted in his classroom practice, the book is both a manifesto for creative teaching and a how-to guide for educators seeking to reintroduce story-led methods.

It complements his later work on Botheredness and has been used by practitioners exploring narrative approaches in primary and secondary settings.
