Props at the ready ... its @SENDinMuseums training time again!!! 😍 with Kids in Museums

It’s not just in distant cities. It’s on the doorstep. It’s down quiet lanes. It’s among the green leaves. Racism sucks. And if we’re not vigilant of it, if it’s positioned as only urban, only cities, only distant counties, it will grow and it will be too late.

Update on the mystery bird I met last week in Bournemouth. The aviary msg to say he's a Blue Black Grosbeak. Even more wonderful is he didn't have a name so they named him Sam! I'm beyond excited & wish I lived nearby, I'd definitely volunteer. He has a girlfriend too!!! 🥰😍❤️

Finally back to school today, because she was poorly for a week so couldn't go in. So that's 0% attendance for us till now, but thankfully she goes to an incredible special school who don't judge kids by false standards! 🙄 #SEND parents, keep banging the drum, we're with you ❤️

Watched all three episodes of this truly incredible BBC Two interview with Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський and his amazing wife. Their story is almost unbelievable and their commitment and humility are inspiring. Should be compulsory viewing for all. bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
