Want your job application to stand out? Don’t use AI. For me, real writing is a differentiator for recruitment. When a panel are assessing applications, they want to hear a voice, they want to get an idea of what you would bring, real experiences rather than the generic. They want to feel a 1/

Fun in the sun today! #EduSky

Excited to get this book through the post that includes a chapter I've written on rewilding learning... #edusky #outdoorlearning #ap

What about the day after?

Went for an outdoor swim today and saw these guys AFTER I'd got out!!

Currently coding the qualitative data for my Masters research - why did I choose mixed methods!! In all seriousness, it's so interesting to see the impact of just six weeks of outdoor learning on pupils at risk of school exclusion. It's also heartbreaking to hear some of their stories. #AP #edusky

Come, Sir Andrew, there’s no remedy

Today we mourn the passing of Rev. Jesse Jackson, a giant of the civil rights movement who never stopped demanding that America live up to its promise.

 He marched, he ran, he organized and he preached justice without apology.

May we honor him not just in words, but in struggle.

What a beautiful version of The Winter's Tale. It's one of my favourites and, in my view, underrated... @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

Bodger, Billy and Betty are VERY good dogs. They try their best to do good deeds but it doesn't always go to plan... @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

Granny's goats are a menace! They cause chaos in town and must all be counted. A wonderful book by Atinuke and Lauren Hinds. @WalkerBooksUK

If you need me, I'll be cooking halwa! This book made me hungry - the illustrations of Eid food are simply delicious. What a beautiful exploration of the traditions of Eid al-Fitr. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

What a joyous romp! It reminds me slightly of Stuck by Oliver Jeffers, with the list of sticky things getting more and more hilarious! This will have young children in stitches @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

I ADORE this book! It's just gorgeous! A box of babies arrives at the door - cue fun and chaos! It certainly brings back memories of being a first time mum all those years ago... @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

It's not long until Lunar New Year and this is the perfect picture book to share with the class! There's a captivating story and also practical activities for children to follow. I love Quek's illustrations... @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social #lunarnewyear

I absolutely love Rachel Chivers Khoo's books. The Finders are magical collectors of lost items and this is a timeless, cozy adventure. Think The Borrowers meets The Magic Faraway Tree. This book explores friendship, courage and caring for the environment. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

Meet Zack. He’s trying to save Earth and his best friend from a galactic overlord. But Zack is officially The World's Worst Alien. This book by Alice Primmer is hilarious and packed with chaos. Perfect for fans of Tom Gates & David Solomons. Kids aged 8-12 will love it! @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

I'm so excited to read this. The third installment of Jennifer Bell's Magicalia series, Storm of Chaos. I have had so many reluctant readers who are transfixed by magicores. This latest quest takes the heroes from the Galapagos islands to the rainforests of Borneo. #MGLit @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social

Suburbia implementing Trump foreign policy.

First Venezuela, next Greenland? You don't suck up to bullies like Trump, he will just see it as a sign of weakness. Keir Starmer needs to get on the phone to our European allies including the Danish PM, and show a united front against Trump's threats.

Ok I'll do it. No other fucker is going to do it. Yet again, it'll be me picking this up. I'll eat the fudge and the milky ways.

It’s the custom: on January the 1st #RecipeOfTheDay just has to be Eggs in Purgatory. Just letting you know now in case I’m not up and running in the morning! Happy New Year, and may 2026 be kind to us all. www.nigella.com/recipes/eggs...

Horrendous... www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

This book is a beautiful celebration of the winter solstice. The poem by Susan Cooper is wonderfully brought to life by Carson Ellis' evocative illustrations. A real treasure of a book. Just think, now the days begin to get longer!

I love the Victor Kloss series The books are just magical. Sadly Victor passed away in 2016 but he leaves this wonderful legacy...
