The Leeds Big Walk for Candlelighters!
Candlelighters are a brilliant charity who support families who have a child who has been diagnosed with cancer. They've been wonderful with children at the school I work at, along with their families

Hi all. On the 20th March Today podcast, they talked about a project in Rochdale where boys were effectively getting rewarded for not being idiots, and girls had to work harder for rewards. They changed focus, and reduced the issues. Anyone have more information about this? Thanks.

Reading Careless People. Sarah left the UN to be Facebook’s first Global Public Policy Director (they didn’t have one, didn’t particularly want one, but she thought they needed one). It’s a really good read, but I can see Mark Zuckerberg might not like it - he doesn’t come over well…🙂

So it begins… Rise tonight (I’m going tomorrow), then events across the region, across the year. Bradford looks great (then there’s free coffee outside the Interchange, free Seabrooks crisps at Forster Square - both as part of the #Bradford2025 package.

Found the 1947 version of Miracle on 34th Street on an obscure channel (‘That’s Christmas’). Richard Attenborough is great in the remake, but Ed Gwynn embodies Santa, and Natalie Wood, in her third movie appearance, is perfect. If you can find it, it’s great - as is the 1994 version. 🎅🎅🙂

Just watched The Primose Railway Children, BBC’s adaptation of Jacqueline Wilson’s book ‘inspired by The Railway Children’ - in that there’s a railway near their cottage, and a direct copy of the tree on the rails sequence, and ‘daddy, my daddy’ (albeit in a different context).
