A new phase of Operation Vivaldi! Commander: Biletskyi: "The enemy was deceived and slept through the real strike". Russia lost about 2,000 soldiers, and over 250 soldiers were taken prisoner (so more hope for exchanges to get our Defenders out from Russian captivity).

Well, well, well - if it isn’t the consequences of our own actions. It would appear that migrants are not, in fact, the fiscal drain we’ve been told they are by years if we go by the £4bn to £6.5bn shortfall that’s been caused by the precipitous drop in numbers under this government. Funny that.

The thing we have found in our setting about inclusion is that you have to be willing and have the capacity to adapt environment, resources, curriculum, staffing and timings rather than just using more strategies. Scaffolding isn't just what teachers do, it's the environment itself.

The thing I find interesting about the 'maximise participation' and 'transfer knowledge' narrative is that you can't force people to think. You can get them to copy you but that's not thinking. You don't have any choice but to encourage, inspire, motivate. All words that seem to have gone awol atm.
