This week I've watched this video from @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social with Y7. First there were whispers of 'it's the chocolate cake guy'. Then 'whoa' uttered as the stories were told. They had so many genuine questions at the end, mostly asking how this could happen. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iR_...

My kids LOVE Little Rabbit Foo Foo @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social . They’re now 9 & 11 and we still quote it 😂

Beautiful 💕

people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress”.

Hello @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social
I've just had a spell in hospital after emergency surgery. I ended up in ICU and received the most amazing care. I am aware the nurses have completed a diary of the events and my care and I have you to thank for this. I have been advised the hospital will send on.

#4today @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social I worked for a local social housing group around 4 years ago, I’ll never forget the poverty that I saw. A young mum giving her daughter £10 for Christmas was one example that sticks with me. I appreciate that some will argue that others around the world get a lot

It was fun doing this version:

Word of Mouth - It's not what you say, it's how you say it - BBC Sounds Michael Rosen on clichés, pragmatics and how language is used to connect us beyond words.

@michaelrosenyes.bsky.social @derekbousfield.bsky.social Absolutely fascinating episode of #WordofMouth #BBCRadio4 Always enjoy listening to this series. I learn so much.Thank you!

So as the weekend concludes not just Brendan McCullum but Thomas Frank have got questions to answer about the teams they are managing @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social

Me, my sister, my brother‑in‑law, and Granddad were going through the old photos in The Headlands pub. That is Pap’s photo, once in the museum exhibition, as the founder of the Northampton Veterans Social Club. The sign beside it mentions Nan, Betty Waterfield, married in the 1950s, as well as Granddad’s varied career throughout his life: railway engine cleaner, window cleaner. After Betty died, when he was in the garden once, he said a white butterfly would not leave him alone, hovering around his face. Betty was a singer, I already knew. “Can you sing?” he asked me. “A bit,” I replied. “It is all right to say if you cannot.” “I cannot, and I say it,” said my brother‑in‑law. I wonder if that is why Granddad organised the variety of entertainment for the veterans club, and why my sister taught herself to sing too. by Kay Medway

Though technically it's meant for youngsters, @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social's Reading Manifesto is, in my opinion, equally relevant to grownups.

His five tenets⤵️

As always, our language columnist @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social digs into a word of the moment – this time, "condemn" – and @peterwardjourno.bsky.social explores the wild world of conspiracy theories about the internet...
