This weekend’s reading!

My favourite subject (not incl Star Wars!) in this month’s The Psychologist!

The world is a poorer place without the great Giles Havergal. Working with him and learning from him was a career highlight and an absolute joy. He was smart, hilarious and intriguing with enough mischief to put me in an Elizabethan frock. He'll be missed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

“Outdoor Learning is inclusive learning” - So true! ltl.org.uk/news/attainm...

2:22 A Ghost Story did not disappoint, plenty of jump scares! 🎭

Today is the first anniversary of UNCRC incorporation into Scots law. Having children’s rights in law is a huge milestone but it’s just one step. We’ll keep holding people in power to account so every child in Scotland can have their rights respected, protected, and fulfilled.

Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for me

“Inclusive education is not about being “woke” or meeting diversity targets or indoctrinating children. It’s about making sure that the next generation grows up knowing that being LGBT isn’t shameful or controversial, it’s a human experience like any other.” ✍️ Kelly Given @scotnational.bsky.social

Love this! We can usually involve. We can usually listen. And we can always observe. Children and young people always have expertise to share with us and each other.

Stole this off my teen, genuinely brilliant such an important book in an innovative format, thoroughly recommended.

Blue skies for days!
