So many reasons not to use these fake cobwebs - please think carefully if you're planning to decorate for Halloween. Real cobwebs look so much more beautiful

How do we protect and promote our own wellbeing so that we can thrive in a caring profession? 🌍💚 Colleagues, students, friends - I have a question…

Yesterday, I taught a BSL lesson entirely in BSL without any voiceover from me or the interpreter. My mentor teacher said that she’s never seen the class stay so silent for 30 minutes! They were so focused and engrossed with #BSL #uoepgdep #languages

In technologies today, we were given the language Arabic and as a group we decided to explore how spring is celebrated differently. In Dubai, there is a spring festival which correlates with Chinese new year and celebrates rebirth and regrowth. #uoePGDEp

Pluraliteracies week at #UOEPGDEp has been inspiring, thought-provoking, and joyful. The little space-obsessed child in me especially loved learning how to sign the solar system in BSL so much that I've been sharing it with anyone who'll watch. 🌙💫🌠🌍🪐

A symbolic model of the solar system in scale(ish!) using different sized balls, beads, and pom-poms.
