She created both enduring picture books such as the Mog series and The Tiger Who Came to Tea and acclaimed novels for older children such as the semi-autobiographical When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit, which gave a child's-eye view of the Second World War.

The Tiger has been coming to Tea for 50 glorious years! Now for the first time you can hold your own Tiger Tea Party with this very special book.

The classic picture book story of Sophie and her extraordinary teatime guest has been loved by millions of children since it was first published in 1968. In 2018 it celebrated the 50th anniversary.

Hoping you're doing well on the schools reopening. Your students need you! They missed school, classmates and you as a teacher!

Perhaps you couldn't return to school? But you taught remotely? It's you who missed your students.

In Portugal, the remote learning and TV schooling since Easter ended. Now the exams to enter to the University.

Hope and resilience! Be kind to those who need you. And patient with your students! It's a difficult time to you and to them.

Schools : April in Review & Hold Still Photo Contest Coronavirus


The National Portrait Gallery are asking you to help capture the spirit, the mood, the hopes, the fears and the feelings of the UK as we continue to deal with Coronavirus outbreak.

Completely free and open to all ages and abilities, Hold Still will capture a snapshot of the UK at this time,creating a collective portrait of Lockdown which will reflect resilience and bravery, humour and sadness, creativity and kindness and human tragedy and hope.

One hundred shortlisted portraits will feature in a virtual exhibition on the Gallery’s website as a gallery without walls, open to all this August. And a selection of images will also be shown across the UK later in the year.

The images can be captured on phones or cameras and each image will be assessed on the emotion and experience it conveys rather than its photographic quality or technical expertise.

 The closing date for submissions is the 18 June 2020.

Education:

If you teach in the UK, invite your students to participate at this contest by capture a snapshot from a person of their family, someone they know or see.

To inspire, tell students to explore all the entries so far here

Of course, if you live and teach in another country suffering COVID-19, you can propose to a National Museum the same activity. Or even create a vlog with the participation of your students on the same theme.
