Books saved my life as a Child, as a Teenager, as an Adult. They keep me going now.
No one should ever underestimate the power of the written word. ❤️
Have books helped you and your family to get through difficult times? Author Cori Doerrfeld thinks they can be invaluable tools to help children (and adults) face grief and loss: booktrust.org.uk/news-and-fe…

When your son is studying one of your old GCSE literature books, and you delve it back out to read yourself 🤣 oddly enjoyable!

It's the last one.
It's Year 11...with the added bonus of being made Prefect and Deputy Head Boy.
Go forth and enjoy this last (school) adventure, Jacob. Be proud of yourself and all you have achieved, always.
I am right behind you, cheering you on. Always.

Congratulations to my eldest, Jacob - on a fantastic set of GCSE unit results (New made for Wales GCSE's Y10)
The fact these children are sitting such tough exams a year early, too!
We are so proud of you and all you have achieved. Now, onto the weekend, celebrations ahead!

Inexplicably proud of Jacob, who became Deputy Head Boy of the school today...and a Prefect. A great honour.
We have total faith that he will do these roles justice, and make his school proud of him...in the way he always has done.

Wishing my fantastic firstborn all the luck in the world as he sits his first GCSE exams this week. We're so proud of you Jacob, and behind you every step of the way.

It's lovely to see that my youngest son, at the age of 12 weeks, may have taken a shine to the wizarding world. 🐦🔥⚡️

Finally out of the newborn trenches - yet, how I simultaneously grieve for the days that have passed 💖
My darling Reuben, please be happy healthy and kind in life...I'll teach you all I know, just like I did with your brother. ♥️

On Saturday, a lady working at John Lewis Cafe, Cribbs Causeway, noticed my pregnancy, smiled & ushered me to a quieter area - evidently to speed the buying process.
I just want to say thank you...I don't know your name, but your kindness did not go unnoticed. @JohnLewisRetail

Another new term and year 10 arrives...
Another year for this moralistic, self-directed and driven young man.
We are always so proud of you - know there is nothing you cannot achieve when such belief exists within you. ♥️

As the mother of a 14 y/o boy, surfacing the contentious & depraved 'manosphere' to the forefront of the global conversation, & radicalisation issues that continue to affect teenagers all over the UK is utterly paramount to change.
This creative team deserve all the awards.
This is going to stay with me for a very long time. Episode 3, in particular.
Incredible writing from Stephen Graham & Jack Thorne. A directing and acting masterclass.
Smack it on the national curriculum @UKLabour.
Give them all the awards.

Indeed. It's so easy to leave certain children behind the education system, natural biases occur and this is what happens.
Give children the recognition they deserve.
Hi all,
Please make sure you are giving out as many Positive Behaviour points to the nice kids as you do to the naughty ones. Last week Jake Johnson in Year 7 got one point for winning the world book day essay writing competition and Boy Jayden got 50 for bringing a pen.
Thanks x

Today my son was asked "Is she your sister" - and I realised, today marks the beginning of the next few years being awkward for me, and infuriating for him! 😮💨😅
