Mesmerising. Love this. ❤️

I made this in lockdown with @shascreenplay for the Landscape Gallery touchscreen @priestshouse. Music specially written by Bonnie Schwarz and Pete Shaw gives it a dream-like meditative quality. We’re on a journey, always travelling but never arriving. A metaphor for the times?

I’ve been listening to black voices over the last few days. Thinking about the BLM movement and ways I can do more. I wasn’t sure whether to share, but I’ve learned it’s better to speak than to say nothing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve always thought of myself as someone who embraces diversity. I’ve travelled, met and befriended people of all colours, nationalities and religions. As a teacher I’ve valued each child’s individuality, as well as seeing them all as equals. I try to encourage my children to be kind to all others.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But I realise this is NOT enough. I need to do more. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the last week it’s that - we have to take ACTION against racism. It’s not enough to just ‘not be racist’, we have to be ANTI racist to make a change.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So what action do I commit to do?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Listen - keep listening to black people’s stories and struggles.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Educate - myself and my children further. Read books that spark CONVERSATIONS with my children and others. Keep learning and keep trying to do better.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
•Amplify - promote black voices, especially those in the fields of education and children.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re a mama or a teacher and wondering how you can take ACTION against racism, I’d really recommend taking a look at @readlikearockstar and @apron_education - they have some brilliant resources to share with your kids. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you talk about racism with your kids? How are you taking action against racism?

Do your children ever say that they are 'bored'? 😑 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Children are the masters of their own creativity. 🖼 Given the time and space, children will think of ideas that will never fail to surprise you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But sometimes we all have moments when we're at a loose end - children included. A little inspiration can go a long way. 💡 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Try putting some ideas for play and projects into a jar or box, ready for when inspiration is needed. 📦 You could include some of your ideas and some of your children's ideas. 👶 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To start you off I have a FREE PRINTABLE with 40 simple ideas to inspire your children’s creativity! Grab your printable from my bio - print and cut! You're ready for when boredom strikes! 🙌 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do your children ever get bored? How do you try to inspire them?

Who's back to home learning this week?! 📚 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It's taken me all of half a day to remember that we have to do this thing in our OWN way. Dance to the beat of our own drum, so to speak! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So plenty of outdoor and creative time here, with a sprinkling of school tasks and a big helping of cuddles. 🥰(And the plan often goes out of the window!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Our rainbow is still pride of place in our window. 🌈 Our first creative project together a few weeks ago - a reminder of why we are doing all this and that we can spread a little love and kindness even while at home. ❤️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you home learning this week? Do you follow a schedule or do you 'go with the flow'?
