Last year I worked with the charity '52 Lives' to produce some lesson plans about kindness for KS1 and 2. You can download them for free at the @52.lives website (I've put the link in my bio). The plans are fully resourced and designed to get children thinking about what kindness is and how it feels to both give and receive it. I also put together a list of circle time activities based on kindness that you can use if you have a spare 5 minutes or incorporate into your PSHE sessions. The start of the new term might be a great time to focus on kindness in the classroom! 🌞 I also really recommend having a look at the work that @52.lives do if you haven't already. They're a really WONDERFUL charity who make a real difference to people's lives in so many ways! It was such a pleasure to work with them. If you're a teacher you might be interested to know that they offer school's workshops 🌝 . . . #kindness #teachersofinstagram #classroomideas #lessonplans #compassion
Nearly the end of doing-nothing-mass. I love the lull between Xmas and new year. Here's my 2018 in the novels I read, there was one I didn't finish but enjoyed the rest. It's hard to choose but I think The Wolf Border might be my favourite... with Clay a close second. . Happy new year all xxxx . . . #bookstagram #readinglist #newyear #2018books #fiction #bestbooks2018 #readersofinstagram
Two books I'm really looking forward to giving away this Christmas (to someone who's not on instagram!) I love them both. #bookstagram #rohintonmistry #guygunaratne #christmaspresents

The starlings are stirring the sky. A large shoal just swept in above me... of course I didn't manage a pic of the dance itself but here they are having a post murmuration debrief. It was pretty impressive, a solid 9/10 from me 👌 . . . . . #murmuration #starlings #birdwatcher #natureknows #autumnmood #samhain #mindful
