Word of the day is ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work. I like to add ‘foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

#TeamRE on Human Rights Day it seems appropriate to highlight this newly published report on promoting and protecting freedom of religion or belief in primary schools www.reonline.org.uk/forb-researc...

My first 10k race today. Probably not the wisest decision choosing one with hills and trail but I did it and I got a decent time and a medal. I even think I enjoyed it. I definitely enjoy running downhill that’s for sure 🤣

Donegal 💚

I’ve just eaten my own body weight in Flout pizza. I have no regrets.

Following in the footsteps of St Patrick

#TeamRE last nights Freddie Flintoff ‘s field of Dreams had a wonderful section with a group of teenage cricketers supporting their Muslim teammate by fasting and visiting the Mosque with him in Calcutta. Powerful and moving.

Also look out for the GCSE group that is coming up this term.

I know @karensteele.bsky.social has great feedback on her previous A Level session for @natre-update.bsky.social for #TeamRE. Definitely worth saving the date .

Some more analysis of A level RS: What subjects do students combine their choice of RS with?

The BAMEed Network has collated some resources to help schools post these riots Bit.ly/racism2024 Before lots of schools have already done this tweets continue- click on the link and review whether schools HAVE already done what we’ve recommended.

The most recent OFSTED report claimed that #teamRE is struggling with personal knowledge. I would include myself in that. Here is an old blog with my personal reflections on personal knowledge. rewithmrsmcgee.wordpress.com/2021/05/23/s...

I’m going to try having one blue sky ( I had 2 X accounts) So it’ll be an interesting mix of education and food. Lots of food!

I will start as I mean to go on with things that bring me joy! Our recent holiday in Fermanagh and Donegal - walking, beaches, early Christian history, viennoiserie and coffee

So here I am. Now how does this work?
