Poetry is the key to unlocking creativity in thought and language! 26th November ⬇️ with my wonderful colleague @lauraspargo.bsky.social

It’s Anti Bullying Week, Nov 10-14th. Brian Moses has put together a helpful collection of poems, over on X. If you don’t venture over to The Dark Side, here’s one that might encourage discussion with your older pupils.

Happy #weekend everyone! Have you seen the GIVEAWAY below? Why not get involved! #BookSky #KidLitUK

People love to tell disabled folks to “take responsibility”. Take responsibility for what exactly? For being sick? For not getting better? For needing social supports? What they really mean is “we don’t want OUR taxes helping YOU survive”

Every so often, I like to share this poem, about love #poetrycommunity

In WW2 a 19 year old sent his mother a poem. He sadly died; but the poem endured. It’s a long term favourite with our schools via ‘OD to Quality Writing 10-13’ .I’ve just heard it read out at the British Legion Festival on bbc. John Magee lives on! www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/157986...

A lovely resource for poetry fans

A very nerdy poem... LINGUISTIC RELATIVITY In the beginning was the Word so I guess that means I’ve found my great-great-great-great-grammar. #BookSky #poetry #linguistics

This was excellent (even though I almost couldn't make out the words toward the end through the tears welling up). An extraordinarily beautiful book about grief and rememberance. @writerpoetjohn.bsky.social @thomasdocherty.bsky.social

Here's a little Bonfire Night poem. Maybe some EY, KS1 and 2 teachers might spot it and share it with children. Now that would be just lovely!

ABA proponents often claim play-based methods are “evidence-based” bc they produce measurable outcomes. The problem is what they measure. Most studies in ABA research focus on short-term behavior change—not long-term psychological health, identity or self-regulation. endseclusion.org/2025/10/31/t...
