Since the DfE's new writing framework seriously downplays the importance of emergent writing, I'm giving away a free copy of my book on mark making because it 100% *does* matter! ☺️

Like and repost to enter. Winner announced next Thursday. #EduSky #giveaway #freebie

Thanks to everyone who has shared this! Let's push back against the idea that emergent writing is not necessary. ☺️

Messy? Yes.
100% washable? Also yes. 🌧️

Mud play is more than dirt—it’s discovery.
Children explore, imagine, and grow through every squelch and splash.
🌱 Sensory development
🧠 Creative thinking
💚 Emotional wellbeing

Let them get muddy—it all washes off, but the benefits stick.

Please repost, if like me, you will never accept Brexit.

It harms the British people. It was obtained through foreign interference and by far the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and it robs us of freedom and citizenship.

I’m out and about walking again - this one is at the end of March, the Bath 29km - in aid of the brilliant and caring St. Luke's Hospice (Basildon & District) - they need £11,000 a day to provide care and support. Please give what you can 🙏

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear.

This man sows hate, lies and division.

He is a grifter and a conman.

He does not represent the vast majority of Britons.

Repost if you agree

P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Please say no to garden poisons such as pesticides and weedkillers, to help keep them out of the food chain. Hedgehogs, for example, can eat over 100 invertebrates every night.
