💚 🩷 𝗥𝗘𝗝𝗢𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗙𝗬 💚 🩷 For all Wicked Fans - it is going to be a big weekend!✨ With 𝙒𝙞𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙: 𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙 landing in cinemas on 21 November, it feels like the right time to celebrate one of the quiet stars of the Wicked universe: its made-up language. From 𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗺 to 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀, Ozian words look playful, but they are carefully engineered. The writers build them by stretching familiar English roots and endings so they sit on the edge of nonsense while still being instantly understandable. Everyday language works in much the same way. New blends appear (“parasocial” is a trending word of 2025), older words quietly change meaning (did you know that “awful” used to literally mean “full of awe”, as in something amazing), and different groups develop their own small dialects. Language is as fluid and changing as the people who use it. So to celebrate the release of Part Two, we picked five of our favourite Ozian words and unpacked what they tell us about how flexible language really is. #Wicked #WickedtheMovie @wickedmovie

In case you missed it 👀 6.30m 🤝 @mondohoss600 #WorldAthleticsChamps

What a finish 👀- with a margin of victory less than in the 100m final!

This week I’ve been struck by how emotional these World Championships feel for so many of our Japanese colleagues. Standing in this magnificent stadium before tonight’s session, I can’t help but remember the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics—when fans weren’t allowed inside. And it makes these championships special to so many to finally see it fully packed for this huge event.

Wow - what a 3 epic days!

Few would deny that the SEND system needs an overhaul, but only giving EHCPs to pupils in special schools isn’t the answer, says @IPSEAcharity’s @catrionamoore13 tes.com/magazine/analy…

@Lawton_Times Called it!!

Surely it’s time to send on Chloe Kelly

Rather special afternoon at Buckingham Palace Garden Party - everything you could wish for - with glorious sun shing, the guards band playing the entire John Williams repertoire (including Star Wars and Harry Potter!) cucumber sandwiches on the Lawn as a guest of His Majesty…
