Inspiring evening of art, poetry and music at Perth art gallery. Part of Perth festival of the arts. It was lovely to hear doric @vavapoetry.bsky.social a wee touch of home! A few new poems for the classroom and already collaborating with PT of art on creating our own version at school!

Why are books so long these days? It’s off putting. Chapter books these days are always 300 pages + . We need to get back to books with short and exciting chapters. Bring back the enjoyment and build up to tomes!

The sunshine has meant some garden reading. Half way through ‘Babel’. Absolutely loving it! A must for any linguaphile.

I’m almost finished this one. Some historical fiction with lots of female voices.

We do, and I also saw this production this week- it was phenomenal. Sad it only appeared to have one Scottish venue- chuffed I didn’t need to go far to see it!
The book has also been translated into Scots!

Darn! I’m too short! 🤣🤣

Went to Perth Cinema to see this tonight. It was brilliant, sooo funny and camp. I feel Oscar Wilde would’ve approved.

My day of culture continues with a date with Mr Tennant!

P3 has to do a talk about castles- we’ve gone with a local choice of Huntingtower. We had a brilliant morning exploring, learning about the leap, spotting the green man. Thanks to the staff- Yvonne, I think! Who answered all our questions and has inspired us to get a membership.

My 86 yr old grandma owns a house that has RAAC, in Aberdeen, and is being forced to move. My mum was telling me the latest tales of her reasons for rejecting anything and it reminded me of www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/my-gran... It made my mum cry! Poetry is amazing ❤️

I used my best scary face 👻

Building back a network is tricky, but nice to see books, and educational chat back on my timeline

Had an inset today collaborating with English teachers from across the council. Definitely more time should be given to discuss, and engage in this way. Energised with ideas to get into my classroom next week.

As a Kerry that automatically becomes Merry on autocorrect I agree! Thanks for sharing though, didn’t know about this, and I’m going to add this as an idea for a folio topic as it could be an interesting read!

This is Misty- my son named her after the Pokemon trainer. She’s a good girl even if she eats everything!

This is Misty. She’s a good girl.

We have a pigeon problem. They come in twos. The other one is up the back. We all have bird wrangler on our CV!
