If it’s of interest to you, a few of us have started our own press. Children’s books, poetry collections and novels all due. Give us a follow on insta if you’re interested. #booklovers #childrensbooks #poetry

I’m curious. What are the merits of a behaviour policy solely relying on intrinsic merit with children aged 5 - 11. Seen another behaviour policy today stating no reward system other than verbal praise. 😬

Growth mindset takes time!!!!

I watched Krampus last night and the moral of the film is, don’t wish your family dead.

Sound advice. 👌🏻

What I loved about original recipe twitter, was the fact it was just people talking to each other - not a grab for likes. The follow back vibes of just meeting people and finding your various tribes.

🤞🏻 this place has brought that back

If someone delivers training and you get something from it, please tell them! You could completely turn their day around!
