Thank you to CBC in Canada for this lovely little piece about how we are cheering on the @torontobluejays.bsky.social at school and the things we've done over the last few years to promote a love of the Jays and baseball here in the UK.

Great to be invited onto Canadian radio to talk to Matt Green on CBC about introducing the @torontobluejays.bsky.social to the children at our UK primary school and what happens if you come in wearing a Yankees cap!

Found out this week that Stefan Dennis is my wife’s cousin’s brother-in-law, so am now proudly claiming that we have a family member on Strictly and am cheering Cousin Stefan, Diane and #TeamAussie on all the way!

Here’s the full postseason prayer:

“ Give us this day our Springer Dingers… “

In assembly, the children celebrated the @torontobluejays.bsky.social winning the AL East ( as they predicted in March ) and offered up this Jays-themed postseason prayer to help them win the World Series.

Very grateful to @teachertapp.bsky.social for making my blog one their Daily Reads. If you’re thinking of adding a specialist provision to your mainstream school, or want to know more about specialist units in general, I hope you find it useful.

I know that many schools are considering their own #SEND provisions due to a lack of places elsewhere and so I have written this blog today to share our experience of having a Specialist Unit at our school in case it is of use.

It’s the Year 6 sleepover at school so I have to pull an all-nighter - currently powering through it with many, many cups of tea and a perfectly timed @torontobluejays.bsky.social game. Last child went to sleep at 3:20 am…!
