Woke views of my own.

Just a quick note on #NationalComingOutDay ...

I may be a cis het old bird, but I breed gay babies & love 'em to bits. If there's anyone there who needs a Mum, my DMs are open. I'll be your Mama Bear, every time.

[Lisa Taylor @ScienceAmbass]

@silverpebble Oh it is very tiny indeed!

Your pictures bring much joy and calm to this site. Thank you 🥰

I'm an Out & Proud Parent of two fabulous young queer adults 🏳️‍🌈

Too many LGBTQIA+ young people are rejected by their parents 😪

Parental love should be utterly unconditional ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤎🤍🩷🩵

I do love my van! Nothing beats the looks on folks' faces when Florence Nightingale stops to fill up with diesel & grab a coffee. 😁

#YearEndStats

During 2024-25, our fleet of silver vans drove a whopping 108,000 miles to take in-person workshops to schools. That's more than 4 times around the world!

Time for another #FeedbackFriday

This is what teachers, pupils & parents think about how we include & engage the pupils with SEND. Looks like we do a great job! 🥰

We really do physically post the stuff that you need to make the crafts for our Virtual workshops!

Here's what you will receive with our "Life in Ancient Greece" video.

How was your day at work today? Did you bring learning to life? 🥰

[HistoryOffThePage @HistOffThePage]

The calm before the day begins. We are at Sidegate Primary School, taking 640 children back to VE Day. Our in-school days are normally for a maximum of 60 or 90 children, so seeing an ENTIRE school in one day is quite the undertaking!

Would have loved this as part of my PGCE!
Great to see some of my colleagues inspiring the next generation of teachers.

[HistoryOffThePage @HistOffThePage]

Our students were a bit taller than usual today!

Our MD Llewela, with teachers Craig & Fiona were at @Cambridge_Uni Dept of Education today, with the Primary #PGCE students, showing them what #HandsOnLearning looks like in history. They had tasters of two of our workshops.

Wishing everyone peace, health & confelicity today, wherever you are & whatever this time of year means to you. 😊

[Susie Dent @susie_dent]

A few potential words of the day:

Joblijock: a disturber of domestic peace (small children, cantankerous uncles, etc).

Yule-hole: the furthest notch in your belt that you need to resort to at Christmas.

Confelicity: joy in other people’s happiness.

Merry Christmas.

Awww! This is the feedback that a colleague recently received 🥰

[HistoryOffThePage @HistOffThePage]

4/4

And we of course get feedback directly from the pupils.

"This was the Best Day Ever!" is heard daily.

Then we get gems like this piece of carefully crafted work after one of our Egyptian workshops. 🥰

[Lisa Taylor @ScienceAmbass]

@EdadventuresM Absolutely fine, thanks! 👍
We were just in the queue for 90 minutes.

Just been stuck in this. Accident is pretty much under the bridge of Leicester Forest Services. Diversion is through the services. #M1

[National Highways: East Midlands @HighwaysEMIDS]

@LeicsPoliceRPU The #M1 remains closed southbound between J22 ( #Markfield) and J21 (#Leicester) due to an ongoing @LeicsPoliceRPU led incident. #TrafficOfficers are working to clear the traffic caught within the closure. Please follow instructions from crews at the scene...

Uncovered this gem from 2020, in response to a @SamSighs_ quiz round (remember Zoom quiz nights in lockdown?!) prompt of inventing something new with a cardboard box.

Going through my tweets to delete them. Rediscovered thus absolute gem of a thread, from back when this place still had fun.

Oh well.

Read it all & remember the Good Times. See you on 🦋

Let’s pretend every city/town in Britain is a guest at a party. What is each one doing at the party?
