Bonkers but brilliant Project Week planning at school this week preparing for our student-led day of community workshops to raise money for Scilly Welcomes - supporting our Syrian friends who have resettled in Cornwall to visit us on the islands. www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding...

It’s so exciting to be speaking on a panel at #VIS2024 with a global audience, and learning about how island educators across the world (Bermuda, Antigua, Scotland…) meet the challenges of climate change, fluctuating populations, mental health and aspiration through innovation and creativity.

First ever visit to Lyme Regis today. I had NO IDEA the ammonites were so huge and amazing and everywhere! Husband kept asking me questions about the ages of rock - as if being a history teacher I should know. I didn’t - but was just so happy sitting and gazing at all the layers of prehistoric life.

Repost with the first album that you bought with your own money.

Listening now with a smile on my face (less spotty but more weathered than in 1988) - thanks @bsky.app colleagues for this nostalgic repostery.
