Free resources to celebrate David Attenborough’s 100th birthday!
On May 8th, our national treasure, David Attenborough is going to be turning 100!
I imagine that a lot of schools will want to mark this day (and perhaps the week leading up to it) with some David Attenborough and nature related ideas!
I’ve generated a list of a good dozen or so ideas - some for primary, some for secondary (and some for both) - with there being something for every context (I hope)!
All of the ideas are here: tinyurl.com/35ta5t8t
If you find this helpful, please do share!

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Another scale busting map!
September rainfall for the UK.
Huge variation but parts of southern England seeing over three & a half times their average rainfall.
Incredibly Bedfordshire & Oxfordshire saw their wettest month (of any month) in at least 188 years.

🚨 NEW: We’re scrapping single headline Ofsted judgements with immediate effect.
Ofsted judgements have been high stakes for schools, low information for parents.
We’ll:
✅ Give parents more transparency
✅ Drive high & rising standards
✅ Pave the way for school report cards

It is one minute past midnight, and the embargo has lifted, so here’s a thing I’ve waited nineteen months to be able to say: no school will ever receive a single-word/phrase judgement again. They are gone, they are history…

“If all young people are to successfully navigate their own journeys into further study, the workplace and later life they deserve to be taught by similarly expert subject teachers too.”
The GA’s Chief Executive Steve Brace was delighted to work with the CEOs of six other subject associations – spanning citizenship, English, history, PE, RE and science – to publish this joint statement on the importance of expert subject teachers.

I don't know who needs to hear this (I do, it's my husband), but the little cover that comes with margarine does not need to be placed back on top of the margarine after every use. Throw that away. The lid exists for a reason.

🇬🇧 British people are now the 2nd most miserable people in the world
Previous happiness studies are based on income, wealth and healthcare quality, simply putting Western countries on top always, very very biased
The new Mental State of the World report is the first happiness ranking that actually makes sense and is based on surveys of satisfaction
People in many low-income countries are actually MORE happy regardless of income: in this case for example 🇩🇴 Dominican Republic and 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka are VERY happy
While people in a high-income country like United Kingdom are VERY unhappy
Added the data to Nomad List for the [ ☺️ Happy ] filter
