A long shot, I know, but please share. My brother died on Boxing Day, and his beloved bike has been stolen. It is of tremendous sentimental value and we are desperate to get it back to his widow, who promised she would never get rid of it. A silver Reilly. Stolen Ruislip, Middx

NEW Most students can spot a metaphor. Few can define one. Teach tenor, vehicle and ground. Metaphor is transport: the vehicle carries the tenor across the ground. Stop device-spotting. Start explaining how the image reshapes the idea and why it matters.

Don't let's underestimate what pupils with SEND are capable of!
There's plenty of evidence that they enjoy doing demanding work.
Yet how often are we tempted to make things easy?
I'll be sharing how we can offer all our pupils a rich curriculum, including those with lower starting points.
Webinars on geography, history and RE in March, live and recorded.
