The Yule Goat in Scandinavian traditions predates modern Christmas icons like Santa. Originally a symbol of harvest spirits, the goat evolved into a festive figure demanding gifts and later delivering them, embodying the connection between winter and fertility. #FolkyFriday

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Why use choice boards with MLs?
➡️ entry point for all proficiency levels, ensuring Ss are challenged but not overwhelmed
➡️ giving Ss the power to choose fosters a sense of ownership over their learning
➡️ encourages collaboration which promotes language development
