Really wish someone “in charge” would shut these people up, and get them to stop stirring up hate.
Nor do they get three meals a day! I’ve seen the “meals” children get given for lunch - also aware that a family has to share a room, no outside space, not even a balcony. It’s hard for them.
They most certainly are not being placed in 4* hotels
Since the DfE's new writing framework seriously downplays the importance of emergent writing, I'm giving away a free copy of my book on mark making because it 100% *does* matter! ☺️ Like and repost to enter. Winner announced next Thursday. #EduSky #giveaway #freebie
Thanks to everyone who has shared this! Let's push back against the idea that emergent writing is not necessary. ☺️
No I’m not, not at all. Just curious why it’s taken this long, that’s all. If it’s true then I’ve been taken in as much as everyone - have read the books, seen the concert & the film and was eagerly awaiting the new book.
It’s 7 years since it was published - I get investigative journalism takes time, but that is a long time - and 3 books plus Gigspanner Saltlines and the film - how come no one spoke up?
I do wonder why now? Why hasn’t someone questioned this all before?
A school I used to work in, children had been to Dubai/Barbados (glam holidays) but had never been rock pooling or to the beach in this country!
We see them, groups of 3/4 and up to 6 at a time, screaming over the roof! Love them. We are in central Chelmsford 😁
Messy? Yes. 100% washable? Also yes. 🌧️ Mud play is more than dirt—it’s discovery. Children explore, imagine, and grow through every squelch and splash. 🌱 Sensory development 🧠 Creative thinking 💚 Emotional wellbeing Let them get muddy—it all washes off, but the benefits stick.

Please repost, if like me, you will never accept Brexit. It harms the British people. It was obtained through foreign interference and by far the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history, and it robs us of freedom and citizenship. #RejoinEU
My Dad supported them all his life - we don’t really know why! He passed away last August - that was for him! X
I’m out and about walking again - this one is at the end of March, the Bath 29km - in aid of the brilliant and caring St. Luke's Hospice (Basildon & District) - they need £11,000 a day to provide care and support. Please give what you can 🙏 www.justgiving.com/page/emma-so...
Here must be more than two of us here? 🤣 🤞 (David Attenbear has gone down VERY well!!! We also have Forest School Bob Bear)

I seem to have upset the Nigel Farage fan club - so let me be clear. This man sows hate, lies and division. He is a grifter and a conman. He does not represent the vast majority of Britons. Repost if you agree P.s. multiculturalism is great.

Please say no to garden poisons such as pesticides and weedkillers, to help keep them out of the food chain. Hedgehogs, for example, can eat over 100 invertebrates every night. #wildlife #gardening #nature
It is a lovely evening - just that family events and life has interfered with it in recent months. ❤️
