In olden times it was believed that daffodils bloom around the 1st of March in honour of Saint David, the patron saint of #Wales. Saint David's feast day falls upon this day when we also celebrate the first day of meteorological spring. #DyddGŵylDewiHapus #StDavidsDay #1stMarch
The image shows a cluster of bright yellow daffodils with trumpet-shaped centers and long, slender green leaves. They are growing in a natural outdoor setting with a soft-focus grassy background. The flowers are in full bloom, with some petals slightly curled at the edges.

I’m reading Louise Rosenblatt’s ‘Literature as Exploration’. Essential reading for every English teacher in my view, for understanding what literature is & the relationship between readers & texts.

Such an exiting day! Two rich encounters with @philearle - one with 2000 young people and one with a rather smaller number of teachers! Both inspiring! @kashleyenglish @OpenUni_RfP All part of our Reading Schools Programme! @jonnybid @DcookeDanni

I want every child in England to receive the support they need to thrive and to ensure that youth voice is at the heart of government reforms. I have created a SEND Panel of young people & last week we explored building a more inclusive education system👇 childrenscommissioner.gov.uk…

I wanted to post a thread on how the landscape of a medical career has changed drastically for my cohort compared to when we started. When I started I thought I had a job for life, now come August, I may be unemployed. 1/16.

“Weaving Words of Welcome” went so well today - we were weaving Kurdish, Urdu, Tamil, Spanish, and the odd smattering of Arabic, German and French :) Together, we thought about what words made us feel happy and safe #InternationalMotherLanguageDay #InternationalMotherTongueDay

Word of the day is ‘blutterbunged’, from 19th-century dialect: to be open-mouthed in astonishment.

Should you be in need of a smile this morning, I’ve just been reminded that ‘snottinger’ was Victorian slang for a hankie.
