Speaking of incoherent and impracticable...you can ban trans women from sport because sex is immutable but you can also ban trans men from the same sport because sex is mutable. Oh, wait.

Little cycle through the forest into Brussels today. Cherry blossom, lovely parks and the EU. It's remarkable how bicycle friendly this country is. From bridges that span major roads to cycle lanes right through the city.

The children learn about ethical actions by partnering up with a community conservation group dedicated to planting tree species that are resilient in the face of climate change. Today their lovely exhibition raised funds to continue their work.

All over Belgium there are random sculptures that you just happen across on a walk or bike ride. Just there, in the middle of a field.

The Animagic app is just brilliant. It animates children's drawings and makes them run, skip, dance across the screen, bringing them to life. We had great fun yesterday watching our movies that brought our Y1 children's stories and characters to life.

I loved it - first picture 2010 - that's a canal we're walking next to. You couldn't really tell where it was. The second picture was 2018 but only lasted a few days.

Safe to say, Y3’s Dinosaur Island production was a huge success today! They created the plot, characters, song lyrics and most of the costumes and it was beautifully bonkers.
