The language is moving towards care experienced or children in care.

That may be partly due to feedback from care experienced people that LAC makes one think lack and lacking.

Wise advice to remove the pressure. 💫

Good points, thanks Kim. Fingers crossed it goes down well with the audience.

Aside, I also wonder how many teachers would score 100%?

I wonder how confusing this is for parents (and some staff too)?

Surely he's sampling a new recipe so doing a limited batch?

Or is there something about Mr Bun that I'm missing?

How much screen time should my child have? Limit total screen time for young children, wherever possible. Under 2 years: Avoid screen time other than for shared activities with family that encourage bonding, interaction and conversation. 2-5 years: Try to keep it to 1 hour a day. Less if possible.

Letter from Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool FC manager at the time, reads: Hello, Lewis. Can I start by telling you a secret? I get nervous. To be totally honest, I would be worried if I did not get nervous because, when it happens, it gives me the chance to turn that energy into something positive. I know it might be strange for a boy of your age to think that the Liverpool manager can feel the way that you do, but I do. From your letter it is clear that you are a very thoughtful and also very caring and when you have these qualities it is very hard to avoid getting nervous. You asked me what I do when my players feel this way and the answer is simply – I remind them of how important they are to me and how much I believe in them and I have no doubt that it will be exactly the same for your family and you. You do not need to worry about bad things happening. As you know, I lost more than a few finals and this isn't a good feeling but with the help of my family and friends I kept going and in the end we were able to enjoy some really good times. 'If I had dwelled on the bad moments I know that this would not have been possible so please be positive about yourself and look forward to the brilliant time that I know you will have growing up. And don't forget that you are part of the Liverpool family and this means that you have millions and millions of people just like you who want you to be as happy as you can be. Your support means a lot to me and everyone at LFC so I hope that this letter shows that we support you too. You'll Never Walk Alone.'

Whoever you support, this was classy.

Andrew Devine is recognized as a 97th victim of the Hillsborough disaster. Andrew died in 2021 from complications from his injuries in April 1989.

The striking EFC/LFC photo was taken before 2021, when there were 96 lives lost. So, I make this extra note in respectful acknowledgement of Andrew.

Two children, in Liverpool and Everton shirts, hold hands on the pitch before a match in 2012. One has a 9 on their shirt, the other a 6. Standing next to each other, this reads the number 96 - the number of people, including children, who died in the 1989 Hillsborough tragedy. Note: That number is now 97 as a subsequent coroner verdict was that Andrew Devine was the 97th victim.

We have more in common that divides us.

Huge congratulations to @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social, who was announced as the winner of the prestigious 2026 Hans Christian Andersen Award for Writing during today's IBBY Annual Press Conference at the Bologna Children's Book Fair. Fully deserved!
