Reminder:
GCSE and A Level Results don't measure how kind, funny, or creative you are ✨
Don't let standardised tests determine your future because you are not standard, you are spectacular.

Happy Get Caught Reading Month everyone! We love any chance to pick up a book and lose ourselves in a story. What will you be caught reading this month? Today Alfie and Cordero are reading @HalsBooks #GetCaughtReadingMonth #LiverpoolWrites @liverpoolwrites #autismawareness

Illustrator Will uses his comics to help other young people with autism, so it’s only natural that during lockdown his character – @HalsBooks – made a special appearance to give advice about the national lockdown #CovidLeadersList: lght.ly/ic8gmf4

LAUNCH DAY IS HERE! I'd be absolutely over the moon if you ordered a copy of Sir Lambalot today. Huge thanks to @TeamAuthorUK @hollyfbushnell @MumDesigner #LiverpoolWrites @LiverpoolWrites amzn.to/39ZzGkg
'Both books are worth investing in, owning and reading, that will give you a powerful insight into autism '
Thank you for the recommendation @EliTheDDC
2of2 books that are well worth investing in owning and reading, that will give you an powerful insight, autism definitly @HalsBooks possibly Aspergirls by Rudy Simone. Dyslexia: The Successful Dyslexic by Dr @neilpasse and @DyslexiaMission All very worthy & worthwhile 👍🏽 📚

Are there any scientists who would like to talk (via @MicrosoftTeams ) to my year 6's for our science week on our return to school (w/b 8th March).
Please share, RT & tag with any ideas!

Well Done & thank you to @mencap_charity 💪😊❤️
BBC News - Jo Whiley on sister's Covid: 'It's been the worst week of our lives'
bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56145771
Thank you for highlighting this @dmarsden49. I agree @MattHancock needs to clarify the designation and make vaccinating those with Learning Difficulties a priority and stop stalling!
Our hearts go out to @jowhiley and her sister Frances❤ Wishing her well ❤
Back in Oxford caring for my Dad, preparing his breakfast with today's paper. Feels so incongruous for a person with learning disabilities to be on the cover of the telegraph, and so disappointing that this conversation is still going on. Sort it out @MattHancock
Thank you @Beathhigh for raising this important issue. ❤

Just finished reading ‘Hal and the End Street’. A fantastic read which really shares the experience of growing up with autism. Thank you @HalsBooks for sharing Will’s story with us and I hope we can collaborate again in the future. #edutwitter #autism #AutismAwareness
Well done @SScown of @DimensionsUK highlighting this incredibly important matter in a letter to @Independent
I have been discussing this matter with my MP @justinmadders this week.
#LearningDisability #significantrisk #ClarityNeeded #COVID19 #vaccine
"Recent changes to the shielding criteria aren't enough: learning disability and autism are still not considered factors for higher priority for vaccination...It's clear people who have a learning disability are at significant risk." Read @SScown's comment in today's @Independent
@MIEcharlestown do you follow @deputygrocott ? He does a fab #FFBWednesday for growing your #edutwitter network (sorry, I know it's Thursday, but you could do it next week)😉

One of my other favourite Twitter teachers is @mr_alfredb. He has so much energy, you only need to look at one if his tweets and you're set up for the day!
