I advocate learning #FMS through #play - children's natural driver of movement. Each of the 132 activities in my book draws from dance, gymnastics, athletics, games & traditional childhood activities. Differentiation is built in. Please DM me for more details re. purchase #physed

Oh Winston, youβre the one whoβs βsloppyβ with your archaic gendered language.
Itβs 2026, mate. Get with the programme π
Hannah. The purpose of science is to serve mankind. You seem to regard science as some kind of dodge ... or hustle. Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist, Hannah.
Oh, go to hell @bbc.
The history of science is one of incremental improvement in our understanding of our universe. The vast majority of those improvements are due to men.
You can argue about why, but the fact itself is indisputable.
And we should teach facts, not ideology.
Menβs dominance in the historical record is not *proof* that scientific progress was overwhelmingly the product of menβs innate abilities.
Know your historyβ¦
Women were *systematically* excluded from universities, scientific societies, funding and professional recognition.
Thatβs called the #patriarchy
Womenβs contributions were also often overlooked or credited to men π«£
Youβre confusing your beloved βfactsβ with male superiority. Teaching βfactsβ means teaching this FULL history that you donβt want to look at, mate π
The male default position has been so systemically embedded in science that Iβm surprised this is even flagged actually.
Keep shining a light on systemic patriarchy. And letβs have male researchers doing this too please π
Fear is not the best teacher. At least she could have taken him in her arms and gently introduced him to the water, building his water confidence. This is NOT recommended.
I tell ya, children remember these disrespectful embodied moments π«£
I think lots of people are just really worried that any woolly skills based oracy activities that has to be embedded across the curriculum will be damaging for the academic outcomes they are actually accountable for. I think a proper substantive knowledge framework would help.
So much to say about oracy - blog pending - but my inbox flooding with very sensible people saying 'wtf is wrong with everyone'? Why are all the great champions of standards so challenged by students having a voice and learning to express it ? What kind of education is that? And if a high P8 doesn't also embed oracy as a core element - mayyybe it's not all that? Feels like toys being thrown out of the pram ... and blimey, thank god my own children had teachers who actually valued their voices.
Local MP violently attacked and maimed.
βThe challenge before Australia now is not to simply condemn this latest act of male violence against a womanβ.

βItβs to ask why, despite decades of public discussion, women must still contend with violence as a condition of their lives and their participation in society even as politiciansβ π₯Ή
This is Ralph Carr, the rapist. We can say it now. The suppression order never made sense in the first place. Once convicted of a serious crime, a suppression order in circumstances such as these doesnβt make sense. It only serves to protect the powerful and punish victims.
