@HLTCO I've watched the first episode. It's much better as a play (may be my favourite ever) but it still holds up. I think most people's biggest issue will be that they are playing real people and so we're always comparing. Look at it as a story about masculinity and not football.
I'm hoping to connect with an educator who specialises in pupils with 'behavioural issues'.
If it helps, my view is that these aren't bad kids, but they've been failed by a system which didn't do enough to support them.
Secondary school boys.
Recommendations/ RTs welcomed.
Huge turnout to watch @montsaye Year 11 football team win 7-1 to go through to the next round of the National Cup. Unbelievable team, with great team spirit, rallying round after a serious injury to their captain. An absolutely lethal strike force as well. Very proud of the lads!
@TheRSC adaptation of BFG was wonderful. Brilliant puppet design and puppetry, visually outstanding, and full of heart.
Seeing my children absolutely gripped, awestruck and drawn into the magic of it all was so heartwarming.
Great stuff.
Absolutely brilliant by Man United today.
But, here's the thing, that's what we can do. There's no issue with managers, these players gave up on a coach AGAIN.
Just hope Carrick can keep this up for the remainder of the season.
Just used Christmas money to book the family to see The BFG at the @TheRSC
For 2 children obsessed by the film and who love the story, I can't wait to see their faces as the story comes alive on stage in front of them.
Another step closer to creating theatre-obsessed kids!
After receiving feedback from a visit to @montsaye which praised the turnaround, the strong culture, and sense of belonging within the school, I wasn't sure what other validation we'd need.
This. This is the validation.

@TomPercivalsays We have a Squirrel & Duck book lined up as well. I've always read to my son, but he's never connected with a book series like it. He's 7, and a reluctant reader, but last night he was so desperate to move to the next chapter he read the next page himself! Thanks for the stories!
@TomPercivalsays My son and I have been reading the Dream Defenders series together at bedtime. We're halfway through Silas and the Marvellous Misfits. My son wanted to say "We love your books lots. Please write some more."
We do have Little Legends next, but love the Dream Team
Sat in a church service this morning, got bored, started reading Genesis. Did not know that after the success of the ark, Noah got pissed up and passed out naked in his tent. His Grandson snitched on him to his sons, so Noah told that grandson he'd be a slave to his dad and uncs.
