This week on the web....

Building a culture of risk....
...we live in a culture of fear and risk aversion which if not addressed, is going to have a detrimental effect on our children’s development and their ability to show good judgement, courage, persistence, resiliency and self confidence as adults.

Inside the brain of a struggling reader... make sure you click through to the whole infographic- it's interesting.

Talking about struggling learners... it still blows my mind that some schools in the US only have 15 minutes of actually playing time in a school day.

I feel like I need a nest!!

An interesting article about why dividing people by age to learn doesn't make sense and some ideas about why the alternative will work better. I wonder if this will ever happen in mainstream education?

Teacher Tom's post My Best friends are five year olds is lovely.

Another animation relating to the refugee crisis- it's a good one for gaining a basic understanding of what's happening in the world and the scale of things.
