David McKee - winner of the 2020 - is not only a talented artist & writer, but also an extremely kind & considerate person, which is strongly reflected in his superb body of work; and genuinely humble person, as reflected in today's speech. https://t.co/mIx7vwjSqo

Sad to hear of the death of Sam McBratney, co-creator with Anita Jeram of 'Guess How Much I Love You'. 'I love you to the moon and back' resonated across the world...A lovely tribute to his 'gentle celebration of unconditional love' here in the Guardian: https://t.co/sMgbAOhqGU

Colleagues - can we get a big shout out to all the school office staff out there. They are currently the unsung heroes of our schools right now. Fielding phone calls, monitoring attendance & having to work like a medical call centre. It's a tough job & they do it well. Please RT https://t.co/VFZQng2ckf

Did you know that the most common sound in the English language is the schwa? This is the ‘uh’ sound in words like ‘cinema’ and ‘the.’ Interestingly, ‘schwa’ is a German word but meaning comes from a Hebrew word meaning ‘emptiness’ as if the sound isn’t there at all.
