A year ago on 30/03/25 the RE community lost a dear member, Dawn Cox. So, I chat to her partner, Roy to take a look back over the last year. It is poignant that we have this chat now as we wait to see if Dawn's dream of an RE National Curriculum realised #anewdawnforre #TeamRE

Thinking of you Roy. I'm sorry that you are doing life without Dawn. There's currently a curriculum review for RE in Northern Ireland. I recommend some of Dawn's work as reading for those involved.

I can't imagine how difficult everything must be. Sending much love. Dawn brought so much joy to so many people.

Thank you for sharing this with us Roy. Your Mastermind comment made me laugh as I remember Dawn giving out that you got that question wrong! It was such a privilege to know and work with her. I'm very glad we reconnected in Israel. Every time I have a hotel room key I'll think about the 'secret' ❤️

I'll be pausing to remember Dawn tomorrow. Sending you and your family all my love.

My sincere condolences Roy. Dawn was amazing. She brightened up everyday when I worked with her in FXA. She was so encouraging and kind to me as a new teacher. Truly inspirational. 💔

Hi Roy, I'm so devastated to read this. My heart aches for you and I am praying for both of you. I'm an old colleague of Dawn's from Orwell. We were roomies in Israel back in 2018. Dawn has inspired so many over the years and she has so much more to give. Sending much love.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Sending lots of love and healing your way Dawn. You're in my prayers 🙏🏻

I remember attending Dyslexia training many years ago and we were told to use Comic Sans on PowerPoints with a pale blue background. I'm sure I've lots of old PowerPoints that need changed!

@jopayne.bsky.social super, thank you 👍🏻

Thanks very much, great to have lots of people with the same recommendation.

Thank you for the recommendation. I got sorted 😊

Thank you @gwhitebread.bsky.social. I think I'll splash the cash on the more expensive one a few people recommended above but if I need another in the department, I'll go for this. Thanks for recommending!

@jopayne.bsky.social A few people have recommended this one so I'll go for it. Thank you!

Thanks very much. Great to get a good recommendation. I'll go for this!

Thanks very much @teachsmith.bsky.social. I think I'll splash the RE Dept cash and go for this!

Thanks for the advice @semmerson.bsky.social I'd like something more substantial as I have one of those.

#TeamRE Can anyone recommend a good visualiser for classroom use? Something sharp to model good answers in lessons. Ideally not over £100.

#TeamRE Holy Wells are what we do well in Ireland! St Mary's Holy Well in Ballina Co.Mayo. Known for its healing power for eyesight difficulties.
