Can anyone see the difference..? Yes: in pic no 2, there's a WHOLE WHEELCHAIR MISSING. Lost by @easyJet, in one short flight Edinburgh - Paris. No assistance offered.
Don't fly EasyJet if anything really depends on your stuff getting there...

The UK economy is in meltdown, and the standout reason for that is the stupidity on stilts that is Brexit. But here we are with yet another staunch Brexiteer at the helm. Brexit is a democratic, economic, and cultural travesty for Scotland. #GeneralElectionN0W #indyref2

I’m delighted that the need of our children to play is recognised, and the power of learning during play is beginning to be understood. For me, a key gap in the discourse is around education for our educators. How much time is given to understanding Realising the Ambition?

[laura @ldmias]

@BexieEwart I passionately believe in high quality play provision and support a kindergarten stage. My fear is that it will be used for ‘cost cutting’ and that they will remove teachers as has already happened in nursery .

[Bex Ewart @BexieEwart]

How much are teachers supported to understand and interrogate the role of the adult? The power dynamic, the complexities of creating high quality environments? Without the ground work we will not be able to deliver this successfully for our children.

[laura @ldmias]

@KarenFl02581169 @UpstartScot @ELCScotGov @ESTeamELC Agree. My big fear is that it will be used to save money and they’ll pull teachers out of early years as they have done in nursery. It had to be supported properly

@LettsDiaries can someone please contact me privately to discuss the possibility of helping out a local school . Many thanks

Mubble-fubbles (1500s): vague, Sunday-eveningish feelings of mopiness and a slight sense of doom.

New research shows play-based learning can be more effective than direct instruction at improving outcomes for early learners https://t.co/LUprbF7HGj
