Always wanted to meet a #Kakapo after reading about them in Last Chance to See. And then watching Stephen Fry’s encounter many years later 🦜 Glad that their numbers are still on the up… Love this version! ❤️👇🏻

I’ve had the honour of being illustrated by many of the greats — Quentin Blake, Chris Riddell, Ian Beck, Korky Paul, Tony Ross, David McKee, Neal Layton, to name but a few, and then something like this pops up in my email 😊 Sheer perfection 👌🏽

Shame on @LewishamCouncil wanting to fell this mature plane tree because it would cost more to keep it. Just to put a crane in place for one weekend. Have they put the eco-system services and amenity value of the tree into their calculations?
@LewishamCouncil just informed us they are imminently cutting down our historic London Plane tree, to allow access for a replacement bridge span. All about the 💷 Please share and contact council. #Sydenham #SydenhamPark @SydenhamSociety @Sydenham #saveourtree #environment 🌳

This healthy, mature plane tree is to be felled so that @LewishamCouncil can carry out footbridge repairs, a decision based on cost alone. But what price such a prominent and much-loved tree?

Very intriguing, Class 1! Let us know how you get on, and good luck making your own #PaperPlanes too. @apaintedmouse and I would love to see them 🙌

📚 We arrived into class to a mysterious den in our reading corner. Who could own the den? Why can we see lots of paper aeroplanes?
Class 1 thought about questions we could ask the owners of the den. 📚 @PleasantStPrim @LiteracyCounts1 @pleasantstreads @JimHelmore
