When two lovely little humans from your class make you a loomband set (a very coveted item in yr 4) in Nonbinary colours as a leaving gift 😭I am so overwhelmed by the messages from my class and feel so loved and seen! Onto my next adventure in September🌠 @APLPteach #LGBTEd

Laws allowing such long sentences for peaceful protest must be repealed. These sentences should be overturned. Punitive judgements won't stop protest. Until they go, these laws shield governments that avoid real action to tackle the climate crisis. buff.ly/3SaZMac

Climate change can seem an overwhelming problem. But we are capable of extraordinary things when we try... A short film with @bbcideas & @tamarackmedia about @RapidTransition #climatechange

The next video I recommend EVERYONE watches is Movement Is Life by @YouthSportTrust narrated by @drwilliambird. I guarantee it'll make you get your class sitting less and moving more #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek (Watch full video here youtube.com/watch?v=8hxIFn…)

As it is both #AntiBullyingWeek and #TransAwarenessWeek, we thought it would be the perfect moment to publish this article about a mum of a trans son, and her experience with her son's teachers and school when he came out as trans in Year 7 🏳️‍⚧️🎓💪 READ ➡️diversityrolemodels.org/news/transform…

A huge thank you to all our lovely volunteers who gave up their time in supporting patients and their families here at Noah's Ark. Look at the beautiful autumn picture painted by Demi, it certainly has brightened up the ward!

Hello! I'm doing a project with parents of children who have experienced exclusion from school (or lack of inclusion). We're making 1533 crochet squares 10 x 10cm, one to represent each of the 1533 children excluded each school day in 2022. Would anyone like to help? Please share

@Eurekajamboree @TeacherBusy Oh wow I actually love this

@TeacherBusy So in my room this year I have tried it differently. Each desk has a green pen, whiteboard pen and whiteboard. At the end of the lesson students have to lay the table. Place mat in the middle with one of the pens in place for the knife and fork. Seems to have worked well so far

One of the criticisms of mini whiteboards, quite rightly, is that they are a bit of a faff. Giving out boards, then pens, then rubbers etc So, I bought some plastic zip wallets. 2 boards, 2 pens, 2 rubbers. Pop one on each table. Done.

A moving poem from @brian_bilston. Read it down. Then read it up. Expand your circle of empathy…

#TransKidsDeserveToGrowUp An update to the Trans Student Guidance: official guidance being released any day now. Here’s what Anti-Trans MP Miriam Cate has to say about the possible guidance. This is even worse than what the leaked guidance proposed.

David Tennant wearing a non-binary pin and THIS T-SHIRT in the Good Omens press photos. MY HEART. I just cannot even with how special a person he is. I always knew I loved him but oh my God. 😍😭 🏳️‍⚧️

we have a week?!! Yay! 💛🤍💜🖤

@ask_aubry When you get periods aside, what is the problem with tampons and pads in bathrooms with young children anyway? Why is he making the menstrual cycle a) sexualised and b) something to fear/be ashamed of? Has he also forgotten that public toilets have sanitary bins in them?

As if girls don't get their periods in primary/elementary school. 😒

@GarethRosser19 @TreorchyPrimary @APLPteach Absolutely love the card and so excited for your next step! Congratulations for completing your PGCE! See you on Tuesday and Graduation! woohoo!!!

A huge ‘THANK YOU’ to all the pupils and staff @TreorchyPrimary for having me for the last 4 months. It has been a pleasure and privilege to complete my @APLPteach teacher training with Mrs Gover and the children of 6G. Bring on NQT in September 🤗

@DeJaSkye @THEVIVIENNEUK Poor advice, they're classified as a firearm in the UK and illegal to carry

Just been attacked in McDonald’s, Police on way. Homophobia alive and well folks! First time I’ve never retaliated in a fight because I’m not gonna punch somebody in front of kids and women. #pieceofshit
