@alzheimerssoc 2/2 whilst I recognise (and see) that sufferers lose bits of themselves as time goes on. To insuate they ‘die’ and their life is as good as over is totally disrespectful to people with loved ones suffering. We cling on to those little bits of them still there, it’s all we have.
@alzheimerssoc I have always supported this charity and feel very strongly about the cause and the need to raise awareness. However, watching this on TV really caught me off guard and upset me. To use the term ‘die’ to represent memory loss is totally insensitive. 1/2
I’m on my travels again, this time up to the lovely, friendly Hargate Primary in West Bromwich. I’m helping the Year 3 & 4 kids to create work exploring plastic pollution. Here’s some snapshots so far.

Art allows kids to explore the world and the depths of their imaginations from their own homes. It's easily linked to maths, literacy, science and an endless array of topics and themes. It doesn't require fancy materials.

Edward Hopper painted “New York Interior” in 1921. Seen through the window of her apartment, we glimpse a young girl fixing her clothes with her back to us. As is often the case in Hopper's work, we feel a sense of loneliness, an inability to communicate. A distance from events.
Folks! I can't answer everyone's #ItsASin messages, I'd disappear. But cast and crew are astonished and delighted by the reaction, we've never seen anything like it. Thank you! La 🎵 #BeMoreJill
Just remember, when 'Lockdown' happened last year we were all in shock, ill prepared, unsure . . . this time around we are connected, well resourced, aware! As always creative people are here and ready to help . . . if you can't find an answer we will conjure one up.
Black history and a diverse, representative curriculum is far more than a display or a month but this new addition to one of our corridors was a lovely surprise today.
