Tonight‘s the night 🎉 Tune in to @ITV 9pm to see A Dog called Laura with Martin Clunes. Its been such a blessed journey for all involved, especially for me and my superstar @guidedogs Laura and Kath. Feeling so very grateful 🐾💞 #MartinClunes#GuideDogs
Every day is a blessing with my girl 💞 4 months ago today I began my partnership with Kath. A superstar @guidedogs who has given me back my life & independence. These dogs are remarkable. Thank you to all who support the wonderful work of guide dogs 🐾💖 #LifeChanging#GuideDogs
Etymology of the day is ‘mugshot’: the use of ‘mug’ for a face looks back to 18th-century drinking mugs that often represented a grotesque human face. Their unintelligent expression probably introduced ‘mug’ as an insult for a stupid or gullible individual.
I've made a visual Literacy Map for 2023-24 to bridge literacy with literary/worldly events for our school. A few ideas attached to each but could be adapted! @Team_English1@LitdriveUK feel free to adapt or share: https://t.co/OVIerqzF73
Here is the latest podcast interview with the lovely Martin Clunes who recently adopted my retired guide dog Laura. The remarkable guide dog who change my life forever. Such an honour to feature in the new guidedogs film coming soon...🐾💖 #MartinClunes#GuideDogs#LifeChanging
Brilliant blog by @ReadingShanahan on why knowledge & reading strategies reinforce one another.
“I don’t accept the premise… that reading lessons should either teach strategies or knowledge. They need to accomplish the former & contribute to the latter.”
One of our teachers, @AmirSajeda was one of the judges for the wonderful @BranfordBoase. She's recommended each and every one of the books on the shortlist for young people to read. We house most of the books @TheLibraryatLHS and are proud to support these wonderful authors.
A massive thank you to the #BranfordBoaseAward judges @DarrenM1974@MaisieWrites @AmirSajeda @JoanneOwen seen here modelling the 2023 shortlist after an afternoon of informed, passionate, lively discussion. Winner announced 7.30pm Thursday 13 July 👀 https://t.co/3UBNMe2DxX
Here’s an academic reading resource I made to accompany ‘War Photographer’ from the AQA P+C cluster. Help yourselves and use/chuck/change as you see fit! @Team_English1 https://t.co/cBspdBUCFU

Our new research reveals the extent to which the talent of high-potential disadvantaged young people is being wasted ⤵️ 🧵
and that’s a wrap! I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful way to wrap up the last 6 months of filming with Martin Clunes. Feel grateful to be part of such a heartwarming @guidedogs film. It’s been a blessed journey. Due to air autumn 2023 #MartinClunes#GuideDogs#LifeChanging

My regular reminder that to have the ‘mubble fubbles’ (16th century) is to experience a bout of melancholy such as the Sunday evening blues, combined with a vague sense of impending doom.
Introducing Guide dog Kath ❤️. My new little life changer @guidedogs. It feels so wonderful to have my independence back after a long 2 year wait. She was definitely worth it. Charming, sweet and brilliantly bright. Here’s to an exciting future together 🐾💖���🏽 #GuideDogs
