What a vile comment in reference to Ruth Perry.
Sums up so much of what is wrong in our world right now, and how little is understood about education by non educators !

The story of this meagre £140,000 payment to the widow of the sub-postmaster who walked in front of a bus, taking his own life, just gets worse. The Post Office insisted the money was paid in stages so they could stop payments if she spoke out about the case. I mean ,really?

Today one of our teachers took her class outside to sit and listen to the rain. I LOVE that one of our teachers took our children to sit and listen to rain. And then one of them wrote this. We're going to have it made into a sign to put in our outdoor learning area. 💕💕💕

The most important criterion for success is to focus on your goal ...

Daily poetry prompt:

I am a full stop.
Without me a sentence would never end.
A story would never reach its conclusion.

What would happen if you were a poem, mathematical symbol, a type of car, an insect, an item of stationery, a book etc.

Is a slowworm slow
or can he be fast?
On sports day would he
always come last.....

Gary Lineker and Brian Cox called for the Rwanda Plan to be scrapped, because it is inhuman, evil, won't work, and nobody wants it.

They are right aren't they?

Brian Moses Pie Corbett I am an asterisk
I consider myself to be a star
Even though I have this name
I never like to take a risk
Some get me wrong
Think I am a druid
I highlight information
Pay attention

Ordered to disclose - but now Sunak is arguing, and trying to get out of complying. So much for integrity and accountability.
