The Government this week sneaked out an announcement increasing the amount that political parties can spend on general elections by around 80%. This major change in election rules cannot be challenged by opposition parties. It is the governing party setting the rules to benefit themselves.

Does anyone (teachers on here?) have a handy list of manga that are suitable for upper KS2 (specifically for a 10 year old but a bit younger fine too). It's for a girl who loves anime but hasn't read any manga yet. My manga knowledge is in its infancy so any help would be great!

Thursday 11/16 at 8pm eastern, on Gab ‘n’ Doodle, I’ll be joined by the super illustrator Dena Seiferling on insta.
Dena is an expert in softness and precision in her work. I am so impressed with her the skill and craft and have never been able to work so cleanly in my life.

Book 95: Rebecca Wragg Sykes, “Kindred: Neanderthal Life, Love, Death, and Art.” Really well done in terms of showcasing the humanity of these hominids. Also does a good job going into detail about HOW we know what we know and how that understanding has changed over the least 50 years.
Book 94: Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Bear Head.” Such a great sequel/conclusion! It got more complex in ways I really wasn’t anticipating. Really excellent. Also, I don’t understand how Tchaikovsky is so prolific. So many books! BookSky.
Book 93: Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Dogs of War.” I really love how, in all of his books, he didn’t make any of his super intelligent animals or spiders act like people. He seems to think really deeply about what a super intelligent DOG would be like. BookSky.
