To teachers. For what you have done for children, their families and their communities, for all of us, over the last months, thank you.

Maybe tomorrow is a good time to collect some paint at home pottery..☔️
We’re getting great feedback about how fun & relaxing it is to paint at home. Pick your pottery, 6 paints, & return for glazing & firing.
Open tomorrow 12-2pm for kit collection & dropping off #hebdenbridge

Both high schools in the Upper Valley need huge investment. Please send Mr Whittaker a quick message to remind him how much our kids need their share of this money. [email protected]

So sad to see the queueing outside big shops these last few days. Exactly the sort of consumerism I was hoping the pandemic might see off 😒

It's #PrideMonth, but it can still be hard for some children to see their family set-up reflected in books. We've put together a list of some lovely titles that feature LGBT+ families ❤️ https://t.co/oTkHn1Wgxj

Have you seen this?

[Calderdale Libraries @CMBClibraries]

If you love Harry Potter as much as we do, watch some familiar faces read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for Harry Potter At Home - including Daniel Radcliffe, Eddie Redmayne & Stephen Fry. This week Whoopi Goldberg is reading Chapter 10 https://t.co/KG0qy08cDZ

[Scallymag Tod and HB @ScallymagTod]

Something we would normally cover in #thescallymag. Glad to see it's still going ahead this year 📖

Do you agree?

The absence of data underpinned Calderdale Council’s advice that it does not believe it is safe for more children to return to schools at this stage amid the COVID-19 crisis, councillors heard.
