Best part of back to school planning... choosing books for my literacy long term plan... For my year 3/4 class, I'm liking the look of Mouse, Bird, Snake, Wolf by @davidjalmond... I was a Rat by @PhilipPullman... Any good non-fiction recommendations?

Hi @planetmoney My partner, @RebekahAckroyd, just discovered the theory of trickle down sofas. There's a sofa sale boom in the uk and a boom in second hand sofas on facebook and now there's a bunch of free sofas around too. #FloorNoMore

Passport circle of doom... British passport renewals needs all my passports to have the same names. British passports have middle names. Irish passports dont. Do all #NorthernIrish have this problem? My allegiance to the british state was already hanging by a thread...

Tom and Jerry is my new lockdown binge. Watched it during a very soggy and potentially grim socially distanced wet play with my school bubble. The kids were howling with laughter and so was I... Absolute CLASSIC!

My class bubble were messing around with some logs in the playground this morning... They spent the rest of the day putting logs into song lyrics. Favourites include: I'll be riding "log"-gun underneath the "log" sun We are the "log"ians! I dont wanna hear "log" songs anymore.

Has anyone been on a 250 car journey with a 4 year old child and NOT had to stop on route to use the toilet? #DailyBriefing #SackDominicCummings #dominiccummimgs

Remarkable thing I've discovered: NI is spending millions subsidising long haul air travel despite not having a single route since 2018. Last week's NI budget committed 2.3 mn to pay the cost of air tax for flights that don't exist. Why? (THREAD)
