Love this! Great to connect @smgaillard.bsky.social
This picture reminds me of our Subject Champions, teacher meeting that we held on Wednesday at my school.
So inspiring when there is such high quality #collaborativeprofessionalism in the room as @ahargreaves.bsky.social would say!
#WeAreCREW
Oh this is lovely @smgaillard.bsky.social
We do this at my school too, we've had animal print, floral, green but never tartan.
It's great fun and the secret is not to tell the children and see if they notice! 😊

There’s a saying they used at my kid’s expeditionary school: “We are not passengers, we are crew.”
Just realized that is a perfect motto for #Bluesky, and why it is so nice here:
We are not passengers on this flight. We are crew.
