This looks like interesting and important work. Building a culture of community and belonging for children in our schools is vital, especially for more vulnerable pupils.

Have you checked out the Building Belonging Project yet? Visit www.buildingbelonging.org where you’ll find a growing collection of resources to help teachers understand the science of belonging, and how to build more of it in classrooms.

My eldest is in year 6 and had an open evening tonight. I couldn’t go so her dad took her. When I picked them up, all they could talk about was the jerk chicken and Bombay potatoes they had eaten as sample school dinners 😂😂😂😂😂

Hi everyone! If you’re planning on reading The Boy Who Cried Ghost to your class over the spooky season, I’m very happy to do a FREE 30 minute virtual Q&A with them when you’ve finished the story! Either msg me on here or email [email protected] 👻🎃 #EduSky #PrimaryEduSky #KidLit

📢The Building Belonging Project 📢 So happy to share a big project that I’ve been working on for the last few years with my LSX teammates. The building belonging project features insights from world experts, as well as classroom resources. And we’re just getting started! youtu.be/t1suFA6BXvg?...

Meanwhile Kemi Badenoch has said she was brought up middle-class but became working-class when she worked in McDonald's 😳 Opposite for me, we were working-class in Middlesbrough until me Mam bought us a Viennetta one day, straight to middle-class 😂

We are looking for a head of DT/Food to help us review our curriculum and support our new subject leader. We are about 30 minutes from London. We will pay for your time. Pls RT #EduSky

I did a thing! We wanted our international pupils to have a celebration for mid autumn festival - so we decorated their common room in secret and we all had mooncakes, and looked for the jade rabbit on the moon!

Excited to be running this webinar with special guest @ruthswailes.bsky.social 😊 Register your free place using this link 👉 bit.ly/PNEarlyYears... #edusky #earlyyears #curriculum #picturenews

Today is #WorldAfroDay so here are a few of the Vasco family afros over the years. My personal hair journey is symbolic of my own journey towards being anti-racist and coming face to face with my internalised racism. But for now just enjoy my Dad’s and Uncle David’s afros because they are 🔥

What a weird non-story. Even in our very progressive school, students are not allowed to have mobile phones out during the school day. www.bbc.com/news/article...

One of @thosethatcan.bsky.social’s practical tips for managing your own wellbeing is put something in your diary to look forward to – big or small. Always have something there. Well, Trevor Noah, you are in my diary 😂🙌🏽🗓️

The parallels 1. Marginalise a group of people 2. Tell incendiary lies and double down when challenged. 3. Provoke / encourage people to act 4. Deny any responsibility for anything which follows Straight from 1930s Germany playbook

A year's worth of picturebook assembly suggestions that have a focus on diversity, equality, inclusion and empathy. Hopefully it's of use, even to just dip into occasionally. The link is here: padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

Will antiracist (re)awakening wither in the wake of a war on woke? Here’s a pre-recording of the second presentation I delivered at British Educational Research conference as part of a race & education symposium with brilliant colleagues SaffronPowell & Rachel Robinson. vimeo.com/1008763571?s...

My book is not marketed (could just stop there) as an “inclusive” book, but it was written very much with the intention to include people who are otherwise excluded from science because I *get* why some are excluded from *cultural* activities like science www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Dont-Thi...

Has anyone seen a geography/ English display of books with links to different parts of the world? Going to make one if I can’t find one but hoping to save some time. #EduSky #PrimaryEnglish #PrimaryGeography #KidLit

This is so cute 🍄🍁🍂

I use alt text because when I got here someone asked me to and told me by doing it I could help some people use the intrnet. Now I’m asking you… please, use alt text, it helps people use the internet. Thank you.

We’re thinking of signing up to Borrow My Doggy as for various reasons having our own dog isn’t possible. Has anyone used BMD as an owner or borrower? Or does anyone with doggy knowledge have any thoughts-it’s as it says; you borrow a dog, they are listed like on line dating 😂

moments like this only come once in a lifetime

Science Teachers! I'm not speaking at any conferences today and you'd get very little from hearing me witter on in some hall. BUT I *have* written a book which LOTS of people much smarter than me think you ought to read - only 99p on Kindle at the moment: www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Dont-Thi...

Very excited about this !

Saw a brilliant post on LinkedIn sharing ‘The Good Ally’ and it inspired me to once again share my own story. I continue to speak about the aftermath of this summers race riots, the ease to say ‘I’m not racist’. If you truly want to be an ally you MUST do the work! www.linkedin.com/posts/adam-v...

Looking forward to taking part in this with our children. Picture News are so very good. #LearnToLoveLoveToLearn 🧡🩷💚💙🌈🎉 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

A truly essential event this evening for all those in education. FREE tickets but availability ends very soon: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/womened-un...

Sadé is releasing a new song as part of the “Transa” benefit album. This is the rare news post where every new paragraph made me go "what? wow" in good ways. Andre 3000 is on this project too, and the lead is an I Would Die 4 U cover Lauren Auder + Wendy & Lisa. 46 tracks variety.com/2024/music/n...

…who will listen to us and celebrate with us. Our people. There was lots of discussion about why and how we can keep each other safe and why it is inportant to have people around us. Ask your children about their little people. #learntolovelovetolearn 🧡🩷💙💚🎉🌈

Back to school! Some low effort high impact tips. I’ll tweet daily at 07.00-7.30am to get you thinking! #TryThisTeaching Today, ask students to finish the question… I Wish My Teacher Knew… Enjoy!

Examiner here - significant position in exam industry. If you think a grade is wrong it may well be. Marking is often all over the place. Awarding bodies will never admit it, but it is. It's almost impossible to make it any other way. Find a way to appeal if you can.

I’ve just arrived at Bucks New University for my third keynote this week - and yes I know it’s only Tuesday! Not only do I get to speak to education every day heroes I also get to hear Pro Damien Page as I have the honour of being his warm up act!

. CATHOLIC CHURCH: No meat on Fridays! ME: Okay, so, no eggs for breakfast. CATHOLIC CHURCH: No, eggs are okay. ME: But eggs are chickens, right? CATHOLIC CHURCH: No, not until they hatch. ME: OH. So, a thing isn't a thing until it's born? CATHOLIC CHURCH: Correct. No, WAIT -

Back To School Island 🗺️✨ A little doodle from me to you as we all head back to school – my first in a while 🖤🖊️✍🏽 Enjoy ☺️ #edusky

Alt text is not only inclusive it's also a great way to share more information about images and in some cases it's an art form. 😊

At 99p, I can afford to give copies of the kindle edition of "Why Don't Things Fall Up?" away. If you want to read the book, just click on one of these links and help yourself to a free copy: www.amazon.co.uk/kindle/redee... www.amazon.co.uk/kindle/redee... www.amazon.co.uk/kindle/redee...

"Women who are assertive, outspoken and willing to challenge the status quo..... are labelled as ‘difficult,’ ‘hysterical,’ or ‘aggressive’ – labels that are rarely applied to men who display similar traits. The double standard is stark and it plays out both in real life and online."

A fun book to teach consent to young children. I hear you Doug. #EduSkyPrimary

When I was a little, I was frightened by a man in my gran’s shop no one else saw; many years later my older cousin told me unprompted that when he was little *he* used to see a man there-& described him exactly 👻

I don't think the wonderful Action For Happiness has made it across to 🦋 yet, so here is their calendar for Self-Care September 🥰 #EdPsychs #edusky #wellbeing #selfcare

Did you know that a heartless megacorporation with a government sanctioned monopoly used to send everyone a free book every year that doxxed everybody in your entire city? It’s true! Steve Martin even made a movie about it.
