#InternationalWomensDay

I went to a talk by a Street Pastor today. These volunteers are amazing!

Hands holding a colorful anthology titled 'Young Anti-Racist Voices of Scotland' featuring illustrated children on the cover.

Introducing Young Anti Racist Voices of Scotland

A new anthology showcasing young people’s creativity, lived experiences, and leadership in anti racism across Scotland. A powerful milestone in our journey toward racial equity.

...yes, & a culture of reading, where everyone from an early age actively engages with reading; reads books, recommends books, talks about ideas in books, is inspired by books, finds some books disturbing & others liberating, etc..

Everyone sitting around reading books rather than social media.

😂

Fabulous team effort there!

I have a job where I get to gallop around the hall to the theme to Black Beauty, where I can pretend to be a bulb, developing into a daffodil to pretty music. I have the best job in the world.

Oh I know. We need more, not less libraries.

AI generated lesson slides.

Don’t even go there.

Unless you want a laugh!

No criticism of those who have shown amazing creativity in their costumes. I love seeing the photos. I like to dress up! But I do this sporadically 😂

We didn’t dress up for World Book Day. But we did (as we do every day) enjoy books. 📚 😁

I had a pupil once - on finishing their maths ask -

“Can we go and enjoy a book now?”

Nurturing a love of reading doesn’t just happen once a year.

It is such a joy to see independent writing developing over the first year of school. Children become writers when they have a desire to write, are taught the tools for writing, feel confident and are given the space to try.

I’m not sure my little learners have grasped the concept of this game, but they are enjoying it. 😂

Pretty impressed with this chalk picture of a daffodil during outdoor learning today. #PlayIsTheWay

"When I was an unhappy little boy, going to the library changed my life. It may even have saved it. Amazing as it sounds, literature can do that for you. Books are your ticket to the whole world. They're a free ticket to the entire earth." Billy Connolly

On World Book Day I’d like simply say that we need more libraries and book swaps. I’d like to see them everywhere. In every community, shopping centre, school, social club. Wherever we go. And they should be stocked with lots of brand new books as well as old ones.

No pic and no bio indicates- not going to engage. And I like to engage in chat.

Please do. And add an avatar, it doesn’t need to be your face.
