I know lots of people use “Rose Blanche” when they study World War 2. Here is a blog of other picturebooks I would use, all are true, wonderfully told and illustrated. They are powerful and moving and about the small actions that make a difference. smithsmm.wordpress.com/2023/…

To mark the #DemocraticConvention #DNC2024 #DNC we've had fun adapting @Eddy_Grant's gloriously hopeful international anti-apartheid anthem from 1988.
So here's 🎶 "Gimme Hope Kamala" - a parody twist about @KamalaHarris 💙 vs #DonaldTrump 🍊 that pulls no punches.

Morning people🌹
Farage described climate protesters as "terrorists" for saying they'd block an ambulance.
Last night, thugs blocked a fire engine from reaching a fire in Liverpool after Farage encouraged their anger.
Farage has not commented since. #r4today #FarageRiots

An interesting report. We tend not to consider children's experience of abuse on @Roblox. Too often and wrongly it is seen as safe.

Responsibility for the killing of these innocents lies with one person - the man who did it
Responsibility for the riots lies with all who participated and all who encouraged it

I’m type O and will be giving blood again next Thursday. I encourage others to do the same – whatever your type. It’s painless, quite restful really and you get tea and biscuits. Best of all, you save lives with barely any effort.
🩸 Blood shortage Amber alert 🩸 The @NHS urgently needs O type blood. There are over 12000 appointments available over the next 2 weeks that we need your help to fill.
If you are an O type donor call 0300 123 23 23 to make an appointment or visit orlo.uk/bPTiE
ALT Image shows a smartphone with a low battery icon in the shape of a blood bag. Text reads - O type blood stocks are running unprecedentedly low. Book at blood.co.uk, on the app, or by calling for a priority appointment on 0300 123 23 23.

I remain perpetually staggered that child development does not form part of teacher training.
The relevance of understanding the cognitive, emotional, physical & social growth that children go through from birth to early adulthood is enormous.

Sometimes I need to write about things to process them. Here are a few thoughts on my upcoming retirement/ work restructure.
