Hello Hong Kong!

Jasmine and Girisa's PRAISE POD from kjsmovie on Vimeo.

Well done Jasmine and Girisa and a big thanks to your teachers for setting up Praise Pod in your school.  There is something universally wonderful about children's laughter. Genuine praise brings such happiness.

Thanks Allan

Thanks to Allan Pearcey for taking the time to comment on Sheffield Wednesday fans support at the Birmingham FA cup tie.  Here's SWFC's official acknowledgement

After a 3-0 defeat and a bad run of form it's good to feel proud of something.  Just like the child in school who gets recognised for their loyalty despite not being the best academically.  These things really matter.  Ofsted might have their league tables, as the F.A. do, but there are many realities to life on the terraces and in schools that, in many ways matter far more.  Just ask any fan of either Sheffield football team and they'll roll out fact after fact about average attendances and who's got the best set of fans.

It's in the detail. . .

Here are the 'Praisepodians' from Grange Primary School.  We were talking about the ingredients that make a Praise Pod area feel right; lighting, warmth and warmth (one about temperature, the other about a feeling) It became clear that an amazing amount of care had gone into getting the lighting just right.  A combination of daylight, diffused by drawn blinds, combined with particular ceiling lighting created a perfect feel and avoided any glare or pixelation by the Macbook's webcam.



We instinctively know when a learning space feels right and the Praisepodians help remind us that time spent on the detail is as important as the big picture stuff.  A fab team and available at very reasonable consultancy rates for any schools deliberating lighting solutions for their Praise Pod space. . .
