What a funny picture 😂

The obligatory ‘I have been to the leaning tower of Pisa and done the pose’ pictures….well, my son tried to do the pose 😁

It is planned for tomorrow. Our walking tour guide showed us the garden today.

So much to see and do. We are visiting the Boboli gardens tomorrow.

When we left Rome, my 13 year old was sad because he loved Rome…he know says Florence is better. He wants to stay longer.

Trains between cities. The trains are great. We used taxis/hotel shuttle in Rome but in Florence, you have trams/buses and lots of walking.

Thank you.

It’s a great city.

You will love the city. Do a guided walking tour of the city, we really enjoyed it. The meeting point is at piazza dell’Unità Italiana.

I agree with the 14 year old…it just makes me happy. Just imagine living and working here!! Seen lots of people just walking and singing, and just being so friendly and happy 😁

Florence is too beautiful. I just don’t feel like I want to leave. History, Art, culture and lovely people.

The Firenze Duomo is so unreal in terms of its beauty and size….what a work of art

It’s on my list of places to visit

Thanks.

Oh you don’t know me 😂

I also do hop on and hop off buses.

Really looking forward to it. Probably would have been easier to do Florence before Rome as I took a train from Paris. Oh well..

Was in Paris for 2 days and thought taxi drivers were reckless. I’m in Rome now and my god, my taxi driver was something else. I’m here until Aug 2nd and I’m off to Florence.

Alarm still on…but will be off soon.

Enjoy your summer, Niche.

It’s a banger!!

Sleep helps stitch memories into cognitive maps, according to new neuroscience breakthrough Scientists have discovered that forming a mental map of a new environment takes more than just recognizing individual places—it also requires sleep. The study highlights how weakly tuned neurons gradu...

Interesting article.
Could link up well with schema theory.

I was so pleased to receive this feedback from @lambhearttea.bsky.social

This is a great post. Collaboration, not compliance. @samgibbs.bsky.social is doing some incredible work in her trust.

Love the idea of double loop learning, I talk about this a lot at work. We need to engage with the beliefs that sit under the actions people take.

Congratulations, Matilde!

The new approach to School 21 seems to be to run it like a normal school, but to rebrand common approaches used perfectly well in other schools.

And so ends another radical rethinking of how to run a secondary school, not with a bang but with a whimper.

Until the next one comes along...
