@MrZachG Hi 👋 I pre-ordered this earlier today as it looks like a great addition to the other reading we promote on direct instruction, modelling and guided practice on our ITT university courses. Not all universities!

This picture of Wally's barbers was taken in London, 1940. The business in Soho remained defiant after heavy bombing during the Blitz blew out its windows. From 7 September 1940, London was bombed for 57 consecutive days and nights.

This photograph was taken in 1911, in Antartica. The Terra Nova – the supply ship for Robert Falcon Scott’s second Antarctic expedition – can be seen in the distance while two of the crew explore an ice grotto.
