Before the world wakes, the birds are already singing…
This week, we’re celebrating the dawn chorus at its peak. 😍
Each day, we’ll be spotlighting a few of the voices, building up to #InternationalDawnChorusDay this Sunday 4th May.
Who'll be getting up early with us to catch the magic? 🎵

Word of the day is ‘erumpent’ (17th century), which describes buds and blossom that are bursting forth with vigour. Can also be used of energetic humans.

Speechless by @mrwolfcomics.bsky.social (creator of Mr Wolf's Class) is a masterpiece. So many children, and adults, will be able to relate to Mira and her struggles to speak in public. It's a book bursting with empathy and a perfect graphic novel for the Y5/6 bookshelves. Do track down a copy.
