@HotpointUK My mum’s trusty dishwasher died last week. But for 38 years it worked excellently for a family of 5, which is definitely value for money! #builttolast
The history of the Holocaust includes the banning of books. Maus is a work of art that has helped generations understand Nazi brutality and how they dictated what people could think, read and say. When you become fearful of ideas you forfeit your freedom. https://t.co/wM2o1khAn9
It’s important to me as an educator to develop a #globalcitizenship mindset in my learners. It’s our duty to understand our context and our privilege. A great professional learning course with @ScotdecLearning this evening. Lots of resources and PL opportunities on their web!
Spent today collecting Elderflower to make cordial. Elder trees feature often in folklore and as a child I knew the best place to find fairies was in and around them. No fairies today but a day in the sunshine certainly feels magic! #FridayFeeling#outdoorlearning#naturelovers
The best thing about living on the 2nd floor? The tree canopy is window height! Coal tit and juvenile have been visiting all day so I’ve barely moved. Baby looks plump while mum looks a bit raggedy. Perfect company for #mondaythoughts. #natureathome#solaceinnature
A very large (about 45cm toe to shoulder) Vulpes vulpes for #EuropeanMammalWeekend. They like to tease my dog by playing in the garden while he watches in awe (like me). It’s amazing what shows up if you just sit quietly and wait. @Britnatureguide
@ellis_teacher Would be interesting to know what was included in each parent’s definition of home schooling. Time in the garden? Head in a book? Conversations with their communities? Textbook learning? I wonder if no. days would change if they knew to include any of the above in home schooling?
