Square Sunshine: Red is not the only colour
http://square-sunshine.blogspot.com/2015/04/red-is-not-only-colour.html
Tuesday, 28 April 2015. Red is not the only colour. Thought I'd share this little story, written and illustrated by Iris, the youngest of our twin granddaughters. I love her train of thought, and the complete absence of political correctness. In the forest, a Red Indian was calling her Red Indian friend because she wanted to play. They played climbing in the trees. The cat said, "Miaow, come and follow me." The red Indians followed the cat, and saw more Indians. But they were blue, not red! 6 May 2015 at...

Square Sunshine: Celebration In Your Head
http://square-sunshine.blogspot.com/2015/07/celebration-in-your-head.html
Sunday, 12 July 2015. Celebration In Your Head. Let’s leave the Too Much, Too Soon Campaign. 8211; one of my hobby horses - aside for a while, and while we’re at it, let’s put pushy parents on hold, too. So much has already been said about them. Instead, shouldn't we be placing children on centre-stage, and fostering ideas around collaboration rather than competition? I read a really interesting piece recently, by the young writer, Chibundu Onuzo. Labels: Children in School. 12 July 2015 at 22:46. Tim, I...

Square Sunshine: Running, Jumping, and Painting
http://square-sunshine.blogspot.com/2015/06/running-jumping-and-painting.html
Friday, 26 June 2015. Running, Jumping, and Painting. If you're a regular visitor to this blog, you'll know how much I love the artistic creations made by children. The freedom, the colour, the movement, the life that's so often splashed, dashed, meticulously drawn, and applied with the sharp pencils and broad brushstrokes of uninhibited imaginations. Paint on fabric by Imogen (Twin 1). Paint on fabric by Iris (Twin 2). Something Rothkoesque by SW. Also on show, some wonderful collaborative efforts.

Square Sunshine: Replanting
http://square-sunshine.blogspot.com/2015/05/replanting.html
Wednesday, 6 May 2015. Over a year ago, Ciara Brehony and I thought it might be a good move to start Another Way. A Facebook group where like-minded folk could meet up and share their views and concerns about how kids are educated today. Our blurb reads, “ News and views about the way our children are educated, along with possible alternatives and changes that might benefit learning in the 21st Century. It’s a project inspired by his own children. No wonder it’s so good. 6 May 2015 at 20:46. Sounds good ...

Square Sunshine: No Bones About the Colour Purple
http://square-sunshine.blogspot.com/2015/06/no-bones-about-colour-purple.html
Tuesday, 16 June 2015. No Bones About the Colour Purple. I’ve never been particularly pre-occupied with body image, so it’s little surprise that details of my skeleton rarely turn up in conversation. As a kid, I don’t recall when I became conscious of the complex structure that stood between me and 'wobbly blob' status. I probably saw illustrations in Look and Learn, or maybe in one of my mother’s reference books. It hangs off the frame, rather than losing sleep over the frame itself. After I’d dro...

Square Sunshine: A place for everything
http://square-sunshine.blogspot.com/2015/07/a-place-for-everything.html
Tuesday, 7 July 2015. A place for everything. In a few days time, Square Sunshine will have been rising and setting for 6 years, despite the odd extended eclipse when a host of other distractions have forced their way between me and it. 7 July 2015 at 13:55. Sounds like a good plan! I always enjoy my visits here. 12 July 2015 at 10:44. 7 July 2015 at 19:58. You always have something to say worth saying, so I dont mind what you write! 12 July 2015 at 10:44. 9 July 2015 at 23:46. 12 July 2015 at 10:46.
