Just getting back into canoe polo.

Playing with my son's team.

It's tough. See below. That's him, not me.

Probably the most exciting sport you've never heard of.

Canoe Polo - the best sport you've probably never played. Today my son and I played together with his team (D, W, D, W, W).

Not sure. Green, pink or both? This question is somewhat vexing me.

I should’ve read this ages ago. Perfect travel read and a sharp political satire that still hits hard when home.

Lots of protests this weekend.

What makes Great Britain great is mutual respect and tolerance. Not division and intolerance.

My son's been diving for only three days, and he gets to encounter a whale shark!

Chance to see a reclining Buddha plus various celestial beings, including some yaks guarding the temple.

Ancient India: Living Traditions - fantastic exhibition. Worth seeing if you are in London. Explains the development of Buddhism and Jainism and their roots in Hinduism. Not too taxing an exhibition either.

Loved this book. As mad as a bag of spiders. Just sought out more by #MikhailBulgakov.

The incredible Oshwel Centre in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire. A Jain temple that's well worth a visit during the summer. The centre welcomes curious visitors.

As good as 1984. Written in 1940 and just as dystopian as Orwell's classic.

Karin Boyle and Kallicain deserve to be read.

Article for the @seced.bsky.social 2025 ECT supplement.
Whilst genuine, I suppose you could say I’m having a bit of a pop at some of the adult characters we have to deal with day in, day out. Download for free here: www.sec-ed.co.uk/content/down...

Fantastic afternoon of CPD yesterday celebrating all this education with The Watford Partnership for Teacher Training, @teachertoolkit.bsky.social, @kellie093.bsky.social & @apjsmith.bsky.social. Ross Morrison-McGill took our trainees & ECTs through his research on memory. #uked #education #edusky

1/1 My own approach to teaching and learning is informed by critical pedagogy. Suits my subject areas (RE & Sociology), my own values in terms of how pupils should approach the subject content but isn't advocated in our whole school approach to teacher development 👇 or current evidence-based trends.

A rather cool gift from my departing sociology students.

Dead white men. No feminists.

Perhaps I need to review my teaching.

Wow... as multilayered and as magically real (or unreal) as Gabriel García Márquez and Salmon Rushdie.

I am trying to visualise how critical discourse analysis and critical realism explain how the Early Career Framework shapes early career teachers' (ECTs) practice.

Not sure whether this makes sense to anyone but me.
