The mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna) are kind of brilliant at a science level. I’ve had a few people in my real non-Twitter life ask me to explain how it works so I’m going to try my best here in this thread while I’m waiting for a patient to show.

My next door neighbours were partying until 7.30am. So I suppose now it's time for me to do all that wall hoovering I've been putting off.

When I re-read the books that I loved as a child, I am reconnecting with some of my oldest, deepest, most powerful & profound influences. Children's books shape us forever. They help us learn who we are, and how to live in the world. Never, ever under-estimate them!

Another week of home learning is coming to a close, have so much gratitude for the staff at Townhill Primary and Hamilton Grammar - hope you all have a restful holiday weekend.

2 flawed metaphors that show misconceptions of education: 1) Lost Learning - You can't lose something you didn't have. 2) Catch-up - Unlike distance, you can't recover time. We need to build practically from where we are, not lament where we might have been.

What children need when the pandemic is over: children’s centres, playgroups, youth clubs, sports clubs, swimming, music & drama groups, days out, birthday parties, visits to museums, the theatre, cinemas, residentials, outdoor ed. What they don’t need: more maths and English.

Have been thinking about this tweet. We need to mindful of language used.

This has made my Sunday!

Proud of my biggest boy! First lateral flow test underway as he's back at school for practical subject.

Here we are, 2021, with women still blamed for having the temerity to walk alone, at night. We are so so far away from anything like the necessary conditions for women to be safe. This makes me burn with furious rage.

I don't know any women who haven't been affected by what's happened to Sarah. Her disappearance has been a horrifying reminder that every time we say "text me when you're home safe" it's for a reason. In 2021 it's not safe to walk alone at night - and it's SO close to home

Today lots of young girls, and indeed adult women, will hear a lecture from their parents about not walking alone. I wonder how many young boys will hear about misogyny.

Or on the winter mornings. You soon learn everyone's routines and if someone appears that doesn't fit the norm you become hyper aware. More so when you have to pass them and they smell like drink and clearly have been out all night.
