Word of the day is ‘huff-snuff’ (16th century): a hectoring bully or braggart.

I can't stand bullies. President Zelensky is now trying to stand up against two of them. We should have his back. #SlavaUkraïni

World Book Day has the most sustained impact when it's used as a springboard for developing a school culture of reading. This year, we're exploring Daniel Pennac's Rights of the Reader (beautifully illustrated by Quentin Blake). Each class will develop their own set of reading rights and share them.

Hello! I’m new here and wanted to introduce myself. 👋🏼 I share little moments of beauty from the #peakdistrict countryside, hopefully to inspire you to visit and to bring some joy to your timeline. I’d appreciate a follow if you’re interested in photography, nature and quiet light.

Have just finished rewriting the overview for a weekly picturebook assembly which focuses on equality, diversity and inclusion. It's still a work in progress but please feel free to use and adapt. All shares appreciated! The link is on my Padlet: padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

Any primary academy teachers able to help out? #edusky #teachers

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it.

Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

Hey friends,
people who know me from the other side will know about my #100TorsForPalestine challenge. For the last few weeks I've been walking in circles on Dartmoor attempting to tick off 100 named rocky outcrops and asking for sponsorship for Medical Aid for Palestinians.

Have just added a couple of new links to my Reading for Pleasure Padlet (articles, resources and ideas for the classroom, videos, etc). Hopefully they're useful. All shares greatly appreciated! padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...
