The final sea shanty of the trilogy 🎶⚓️(an adaptation of #Wellerman and #DrunkenSailor) inspired by @SuellaBraverman's recent speech on migration. We stand and sing in solidarity with a different vision from #Braverman's of what our country stands for & who it should stand by🧡

Have your students ever wondered how decisions are made at your school? 🤔This SOW explores concepts of fairness, rights, responsibilities & power. Students will investigate the power structure to determine if they have a voice. bit.ly/45E6k65 #CitizenshipEducation #KS3

Just the nomination alone was an award, but winning the Student Choice Award at #ACTAWARDS23 is a tremendous honour! Very emotional right now, after hearing my students’ nomination paragraphs expressing their gratitude for my subject knowledge, enthusiasm and genuine care ❤️

It was lovely to talk about sustainability and worldviews Ed alongside @ClaireClinton67 at the @ACitizenshipT #ACTCON23 Let’s remember our students have their own worldviews and are part of a global community. It’s the people that are important in both Citizenship and Religion.

Representing the voice of young people, Django, says climate education should be taught in #Citizenship, #science & #maths, and schools need to evolve #curriculum plans. #DjangoPerks #ACTCON23 @sosukcharity #ClimateEmpowerment #CitizenshipEducation #Teachers #School

Interesting to see how few teachers know that the government has a climate change and sustainability strategy. Schools are busy places and there are a lot of other priorities, particularly when there aren’t enough teachers, and buildings are crumbling! @ACitizenshipT #ACTCON23
