We visited the Eden Project today and the rainforest biome was mind-blowing. So glad we took the detour into Cornwall for it!

I hope you had a lemon top ice cream while you were up here.

The Beacon at Redcar. They installed it as a 'vertical pier' with independent businesses on each floor, and a viewing platform at the top.

Hello!
It doesn’t cost anything to repost but it helps me spread the word about my small business.
My online shop is full of bold & colourful prints, homewares, accessories and stationery.
I’m also available for freelance design work and art licensing.

My wife tried brown noise a few months ago and it genuinely gave me nightmares. Really vivid ones. Aren't brains odd?

I have a Hue Pro camera and run it through an empty Google Meet meeting.

πŸ“Œ Our curriculum is always evolving, and this piece is definitely something I should keep coming back to.

Important enough for a second repost. It was so short sighted to get rid of them.

Does "Winners" need an apostrophe? It's all I'm concentrating on.

I've never been a fan of Spinosaurus. It seems to me that it may have just initially been a sketch by a very persuasive 8-year-old in the back of a maths book.

This is such an important point. Leading is complex, and it's difficult to stand firm with slow or incremental improvements when everyone is waving shiny ideas in your face which promise to fix things overnight.

A2: I'd love to stay in our classroom, but keep winding the years back to see who and what was actually there 100s or 1000s of years before the school. Like a motion-activated camera but for the history of our school site. #PrimaryRocks

A1: One of the Vikings who raided Lindisfarne. Or one of the monks there. I think it's so hard to get a sense of the impact events had such a long time ago. Relatable details get lost in time. #PrimaryRocks

School culture is not created by a laminated vision statement, a slogan or even policies, but it is created by what everyone does everyday.

"Poor attendance is rarely the problem… it’s the symptom."

Lots of food for thought here.
