Wonderful to plan another Philosofun on the important theme of CLIMATE. A great group of participants mostly from England and also Northern Ireland, Quebec and Saudi Arabia. Teachers, university lecturers and organisations joined us for an hour and a bit of powerful and fun thinking together.

Been putting the final touches for the upcoming #Philosofun CPD on the cross curricular theme of CLIMATE. Think this may well be one of my favourites themes yet to plan. Expand your understanding of the concept of climate in a playful way. Do join us. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/philosofun...

Back in Venice again.. staying with my translator friend. Lots of discussions about my research on untranslatable words. But this photo caught my eye today - Your eye as art. Such rich philosophical potential: What makes art? I was extremely tempted to purchase my own eye as art. #p4c

Great to get home to find a new playful resource in the post. I was involved in developing this with Lynda Dunlop from the University of York and me on behalf of @saperep4c.bsky.social Expert advice from my son who had just finished A Level sciences this summer!

All set up for Day 1 of @saperep4c.bsky.social Level 1 at Glasgow Academy (my 3rd Level 1 here over the last 3 years). My ‘wonder’ collection, example stimuli, teaching resources for P4C. Love this display board in the training room classroom!

I’ve not always been an RE teacher. A blast from the past in the local paper today of me 25 years ago. Made me feel a tad old. One of my favourite jobs setting up a new education facility for environmental education and planning site visits. #TeamRE

I'm looking forward to facilitating a 2 day @saperep4c.bsky.social Foundation Level 1 course at Ysgol Panteg School in Pontypool, South Wales on 7th & 8th November. I have loved supporting this wonderful Silver School on their P4C journey. Booking link here: www.sapere.org.uk/our-courses/... #TeamRE

Asked a question about teacher recruitment at local election hustings in June. Great my elected MP Markus Campbell Savours engaged in parliamentary debate about this earlier in the month. Hopefully he will visit RE Stand 12 at the Labour conference. #TeamRE www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=...

Last term Cumberland Council launched some guidance for Early Years and RE subject leaders. It was wonderful to collaborate with the Early Years team, Cumbrian SACRE and teachers. #TeamRE you can read the guidance here. www.cumbria.gov.uk/elibrary/Con...

Finally visited the Jackie Morris exhibition at Rheged. Wonderful. I have always been a fan of #TheLostWords Spell Book with Robert MacFarlane. Also relevant to a new @saperep4c.bsky.social course I was involved in developing with Little Chatters www.sapere.org.uk/innovate-p4c...

I've been writing up some #P4C activities for SAPERE's Thinking Together in Science and RE. Henrietta Lacks' story is powerful - whose cells led to numerous scientific breakthroughs - with concepts from injustice, ownership, immortal, reparation, medical samples, forgiveness and reconciliation.
