I’ll die on this hill, #EYFS should run from 0-7. Play based learning should run for the whole of KS1.
#continuousprovision should be in every classroom all the way to KS2.
The curriculum and education system needs a massive overhaul for ALL children, not just #SEND.

So I can see my dad at the finish line and for my health, we have pushed back the finish line by a day to finish this Thursday.
Slightly gutted it’s an extra day but yesterday my body was on its last legs and was very sleep deprived. It’s a 12 hour journey for my parents so to finish a day later will help break the journey up for my dad and for my mum driving.
3 more runs then, 68 miles till John O groates. Let’s make history!

HARDEST DAY OF CHALLENGE COMPLETED❤️
After 2,500 ft of elevation, 3 massive hills and 20 miles later, I can finally say there is only 9 days left of the world record challenge. Into single digits now…
Life is so precious man, I genuinely mean it. Make the most of every day and remember the true beauty in the world because waking up is never a guarantee. So grateful I went ahead with this challenge, I mean my body is slowly breaking down but it’s been 2 months I’ll never forget.

I was unable to work between December and late March due to a breakdown. Every single RT here helps put my creative & mental health workshops in front of more eyes & helps me get back on my feet financially. It would help *so* much if you could RT my workshop below if you have a few seconds. Thankyou 🌿

HAILSTONES, INJURIES AND POLICE. Day 3 completed of running the entire length of the UK for mental health.
Today may have just been the most eventful day of my life. Route being completely shut off, getting pulled over by the police with blue flashing lights and running for 2 hours in the cold wet A roads of Cornwall. But we still managed 18 miles of progress
By no means was today quick, timing on Strava will look like I’ve walked a lot of it but the amount of stuff today that went on we have been stopping and starting. One day I hope to prove the haters wrong but will always be forever grateful to the majority who show nothing but love. Including Sam who kindly joined me for 8 miles today- legend.
Over £3000 raised since yesterday for mind. Thank you so much- I love you all. We move onto tomorrow.
Day: 3
Day KM: 28 (18.5 miles)
Total KM: 93 (58.5 miles)
KM to go: 1268 (787 miles)
Total money raised for @MindCharity : £11,180

Please #retweet.
Every #queen that survives means a new colony that gets to exist & produce new queen #bees for next year!
So this is important to share.
Thank you.

👆🏼Not a pity tweet, I’m just tired & baffled. Trying to ignore my follower stats & tweet the same things-simple science-based activities that can alleviate anxiety & lift mood, but I feel those who don’t pay for blue ✔️are being squashed here-their voices diminished
It’s tough.
Meg Nicholson retweeted
Lost >200 followers today. Is it bc I’m selling what I’ve always sold to pay my mortgage?So demoralising. I don’t pay for the blue ✔️. I applied for legit blue tick pre-Elon 3 times-was turned down-not good enough. Haemorraging followers but trying to lift your mood nonetheless🌿

I know asking for RTs is wincey & a bit tragic, but the algorithm here isn't so kind without a blue tick. If you think your followers might like a few moments breathing out & resting their brains a little as they scroll, maybe RT my photo above?
It will honestly help me loads 🌿
