My latest project 'Paper Plate Robin' is perfect for Christmas, but also an idea you could use all year round. The making video, photos, and instructions are the latest post on the 'news' link on the website www.darrellwakelam.com

Last share for this before the new term.

I help run a MAT book club where teachers from each of the 5 schools meets half-termly to discuss 2 texts. Here are my initial choices for next year but I'm very open to suggestions or recommendations! @teresacremin.bsky.social @richardruddick.bsky.social @jonnybid.bsky.social @smithsmm.bsky.social

I enjoy reading children's books and choose to do so. Not all school staff have the time or inclination but they do need to know about them. Having a couple of staff meetings each year with time to explore picturebooks, poetry and graphic novels could make a world of difference in the classroom.

Had an interesting time at #MATPN Midlands over the last two days. Lots of practical talk around the possibilities and limitations of AI, and some thought-provoking presentations touching on school culture, wellbeing, and how MATs can collaborate to drive change.

Just a plea to use alt text.

It's not only important for inclusion but it's actually a great way to add interesting detail to your posts.

You're also way more likely to get reposted if you use it because people here like to encourage this stuff. 🙏
