Such a wonderful day ❤️
Yesterday I celebrated my swansong with family & friends at my book
launch. Huge thanks to all those who attended who were aged 2.5 years to a few in the upper mature ranges. We had a lovely time being shown round Mary Hare Primary School for the Deaf who so generously hosted the launch.

This week is Recycle Week. To celebrate @sirenfilms.bsky.social released a film about sustainability with @laurahallain.bsky.social at @grovenursery.bsky.social
I was moved by how Sarah and @eyfsclaire.bsky.social talk about how racial justice is part of it
Beautiful.

Could we please stop pretending that the flags being hung from streetlamps or painted on roundabouts are innocent expressions of patriotic pride? This is the far right marking out its territory. It uses these flags to intimidate its traditional victims and opponents. 🧵1/3

“For clarity: you are not labelling a child racist. You are naming the behaviour and language used as racist and this matters when we are talking about embedding a culture of belonging and value in an early years setting,”

Something is really bothering me with CPD. During my training in the 90s and for the first few yrs of my career, there was a sharp focus on understanding child development. This has all but disappeared from the CPD landscape.
