Genuinely laughed so hard at a year 9 who proposed the idea of “swimming world” instead of slimming world in churches. His argument was that you’d lose weight and be cleansed of your sins all at once! 🤣
I heard a Palestinian man on Al Jazeera say that he had to kiss his killed son's feet because an Israeli airstrike blew him to pieces, and that's all he could find to bury.
What the Zionists have done in the Gaza death camp will haunt this world.
"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops."

The little boy who died with an unopened packet of biscuits in his hand. The baby girl who died with an uneaten croissant in her fingers. The boy who was playing football with his friend when his head exploded.
All those Palestinian children had futures. And now they’re dead.
These are some of the children I met in Gaza a few years ago. They liked to learn, draw & play.
I have been thinking of these children, clinging to the hope they are still alive.

Full circle moment - a boy from my first PGCE mentors form class has moved to my current school and sought me out to say hi and ask how I’ve been! Such a lovely part of my day 🫶
he can’t even have privacy in his grief because palestinians have to record and broadcast everything for even the opportunity to be believed. these are the worst moments of people’s lives and we force them to share them over and over so that hand-wringing politicians might act
Yesterday, I set my set 1 year 7s the challenge of analysing a source using the COP method I had only just taught them. What amazing results we had! They should be very proud - GCSE level work in term 1 of year 7!! ☺️
