@AVisserFuray So sorry to hear this. Big hugs to you and your family.

My husband Jeroen died Wednesday in hospice surrounded by family in #teamJeroen tshirts. He loved his family beyond measure; last photo of the Visser 7 here. While we are bereft, in this glorious weather, we imagine him in his happy place, in his hammock with his dog & books.

@mrsprattenglish @fattyspinster Hello, I will send you a copy. It worked for me and my students as I taught all levels. The specifications are the key, the topic used can vary. Often tailored to the group or mood.

I've had two weeks off work and back tomorrow. I've been throwing around ideas for one week. Ready to open the laptop and start my new SOW and lessons for #FunctionalSkillsEnglish. With Twitter open and many great ideas! #FSEnglish lots of CPD #MSTeams to be done too!

So important! 🧡

Invitation to FE teacher educators delivering level 3, 4, 5, 6 and/or 7 ITE qualifications in colleges, land-based colleges, and sixth form colleges to participate in national survey about their work. Click on bit.ly/3ZHYkRe  to access & complete the survey.

To put it very bluntly, if your sector relies on a (mostly female) workforce of people who love people, don’t be surprised when they won’t sacrifice their own loved ones for work. Phillipson asks STRB to look at how pay can support flexibility | Tes tes.com/magazine/news/…

Annonymous post Would anyone be happy to talk through their perception of the landscape in VQ at present (and where they think improvements should be prioritised) with a contact of mine? Thanks

@jonnybid @WRDmag Please add Oundle Bookshop A childhood favourite! maps.app.goo.gl/R6UBiohM6sMFEm…

Have just added a couple more shops to my map of independent children's bookshops. They all have an excellent knowledge of children's literature and most provide an online service. Hopefully it's useful. Please let me know of any others I can include. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/rea…

All you big time authors, with tons of books etc, help a little guide out like me, first time, little book author! Share, RT or help me shout about it. I will appreciate it so much! Bit.ly/amjadalibook

@FunkyPedagogy Have you found that once you've noticed something it can't be unseen.??

@FunkyPedagogy All of this is so true. Morning shower, making coffee and having breakfast. Middle a blur. End an attempt for early night then scroll after kids asleep.... rinse and repeat. I've been off since late June. Just done 2 week summer camp. Also planning on moving and topping up work!!

@Teacherglitter Same in Mallorca, just got home from a late swim. Enjoy your break!

9:30 and 37 degrees and yummy food 🙌

How are you really feeling? If you're struggling, it's good to talk – to family, to friends, to us 💙
