"Ice Cream Mixture" could be hitting the shelves soon with its prequel "Bottom Mixture"! Halton Libraries and their staff are fantastic, fabulous resources and lots going on ♥️
Short thread on how DfE sneaked out a £250 million cut to school budgets in the middle of a pandemic and how it will impact the poorest and most vulnerable pupils No publicity, no great public announcement as Department for Education cut £1/4 billion from its Pupil Premium budget
Thank you Halton Libraries for a great selection of books and our #WorldBookDay2021 books
My birthday is on August 10 and a great way to wish me a happy birthday would be to gift the Lego Women of NASA set to a girl you know and tag me in the photo you post. I would love to see a lot of photos of future women in science, technology, engineering, and math in my timeline.
After advice on entering students for British Physics Olympiad please. Do you cover A level material necessary in class beforehand or do they self teach or something else? Rts appreciated #chatphysics Chat Physics Chris Baker is mostly on threads @chrisbaker108 Peter Edmunds 🦄 @BenyohaiPhysics The Quarky Teacher 🤓
Lovely time with The Storybarn and Halton Libraries this morning. Both children had a great time and we've read Angry Cookie by Laura Dockrill twice since getting home. Thanks to everyone involved with arranging this fantastic event
Such a sensible argument that so many somehow disagree with. Hoping this happens as well as proportional representation (pie in the sky, I know) James Wynne #ProportionalRepresentation #electoralreform #endthemonarchy theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
It's certainly not "a natural thing" for girls to not want to do physics or hard maths. It's a stereotype reinforced by comments like today's plus unnecessary gendering from birth through primary and beyond. #girlsinphysics #physics Katharine Birbalsingh Institute of Physics #hardmaths
The chances of a girl from a single sex school going on to enter A-Level physics are around 3.1 times higher than those of a girl from a mixed school. But how much of this is to do with the single sex environment and how much with other factors? ffteducationdatalab.org.uk/2023/07/why-ar…

Another ridiculous paper from AQA. Students coming out feeling dejected and that their two years of study have not mattered. This shouldn't be their lasting memory of physics. Really disappointed #aqaphysics #paper2 #alevelphysics Chat Physics #aqapaper2 #physics
