Any one use a programme for assessing EAL English language acquisition in a primary school. I am looking for one that not only identifies the banding, but also one which identifies next steps for each child. Thank you! #EAL

Be sure to check out this gorgeous picture book, THE JADE BRACELET, by Hà Dinh and Yong Ling Kang, coming April 22nd! @hellomrsdinh.bsky.social @pb25vibes.bsky.social #kidlit #EduSky
A blue-green background with the title “Book Recommendations” and Alison McGauley’s logo, the front cover of the picture book THE JADE BRACELET by Hà Dinh and Yong Ling Kang along with a five-star review that reads: A beautiful story of family, heritage, and traditions! This is a beautiful story of family, heritage, and traditions. The young girl in the story doesn’t like the jade bracelet given to her by her mother as it doesn’t shimmer, sparkle or shine like the other girls’ bracelets. However, after some thinking and examination, she realizes that her bracelet is actually sparkly and important after all. The watercolor illustrations add a timeless and relatable feel to the story. Featured in the graphic is also a picture of jade bracelets.

🌕 The total lunar eclipse on March 14 will be best seen in the Americas, Western Europe & Africa. Peak time: 2:26-3:31 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time (UTC-4) or 06:26 to 07:31 GMT. No gear needed, but binoculars will blow your mind.. Find a dark spot & enjoy the Blood Moon! seriouslyscientific.com
A striking image of a total lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon, where the Moon appears deep red against the blackness of space. The top half of the Moon is illuminated with a reddish hue, while the bottom half fades into darkness. Craters and surface details of the Moon are visible, adding texture to the image. At the bottom, bold white text reads: "Moon to turn blood red on March 14, 2025." Above this, a bright orange banner with black text states: "TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE." The background is entirely black, emphasizing the Moon’s eerie red glow. The image visually conveys the dramatic effect of Earth’s shadow completely covering the Moon during a total lunar eclipse. This occurs when the Sun, Earth, and Moon align, with Earth's atmosphere scattering sunlight, allowing only red wavelengths to reach the Moon. This celestial event is visible from parts of the Americas, Europe, and Africa on March 14, 2025.
