After complaining for the last 2 years that the pots of regular-sized gingerbread men have vanished from the supermarkets - I've found some in Tescos :) They're back!
Now need to check the other stores.

A useful pair of timers for teachers to use when trying to keep to your lesson timings - lets you give short 1 or 3 minute activities such as think/pair/share or using mini-whiteboards, or keeping to time for longer practical tasks.

Amused that Trump's lawyers really sent the legal letter to:
BBC Television Centre,
London W12 8QT.

I wonder if they included a self addressed envelope for a reply and called 018118055 to confirm receipt.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.
