I'm still in a whirl from trying, unsuccessfully, to explain what it meant to "rewind" something. 😂

My mind works in rhyme, the whole utter time, it really is unfortunate luck;

Desperate, I implore, these books I adore, but Gruffalo please, off you..

Now Donaldson's sweet, her books are a treat and I'm glad the little one does read;

But please I do beg cos, I fear and I dread I now have a terrible need...

That's just the easy question. We need to then consider...

Does X improve learning *here*?

Does X improve learning with *our* pupils?

Does X improve learning for *all* out pupils?

Does X improve learning for *every* teacher?

Does X improve learning *all*
the time?

And so many more...

I'm still struck, by a documentary on Norwegian prisons I saw a while back.

The whole system's focus was on successful reintegration.

I'm paraphrasing but one governor said something like, "Who cares how long someone spends here if, after we've worked with them, they don't commit any more crimes?"

Down in Rock, Cornwall. This was Daymer Bay yesterday.

Not quite as relaxing with a two-year old, but equally as revitalising. 😍

Gorgeous, isn't it? One of my favourite places.

Having just returned from central France I'm definitely a victim of recency bias, but I don't care.

I'm asking for a glass of Sancerre and some Loire Valley goat's cheese.

I found a (very) old cassette tape with my name on it in a drawer at my mum's house a few months ago and when I played it, it was me as a baby.

My dad had recorded me, a few months old, just giggling and babbling away for about 20 mins.

PAPYRUS, like all charities I guess, are the expert help you hope you never need, but their support has proved invaluable in the past to my colleagues.

Please, please help them be able to offer support when it is desperately needed in the future.

I believe in training he got the takers to tell the keeper where they were going to shoot.

The rationale being, they still scored and so in crunch moments the players knew that if they did "their bit" right, the goalkeeper was irrelevant.

Ahhh... a follower of the "Wenger Method".

If you kick the ball, hard and where you want it to go, the keeper can't get there.
