Did you know that kindness is on the curriculum for schools in England? I didn’t, so I was delighted to find out that it is. Apparently it’s expressed differently at different key stages, to make it age appropriate. We hear a lot about the unkind aspects of education, so I’d love the balance to be
When even the gaming world is recognising the power of kindness, that makes me really happy 😍 My niece recently sent me this screen shot of a game that she likes to play on her Nintendo switch. In the game, you design your own island and you try to build ‘friendship points’ with your villagers.

In honour of #BookLoversDay I’m sharing some stories of book-related kindness from my network: Edible Rotherhithe Southwark “We gave 10 young food growers at Surrey Square School a copy of Marcus Rashford’s ‘You are a champion’.
