After a very challenging few years of disruption, it's no wonder that anxiety amongst school kids, of all ages, is high. The Times columnist, Author (and international table tennis Olympic champion!) Matthew Syed, has been writing a collection of inspiring and positive books aimed at giving kids the tools to overcome self doubt and encourage them to follow their dreams. His first book, You Are Awesome, won the Best Children's Non-fiction Book 2019 and teaches kids to embrace any mistakes, grow resilience and develop a growth mindset. His next book, What Do You Think? is out next month and looks like it's gonna be a huge and very timely hit. Helping young readers discover what is influencing their ideas, from peer pressure to fake news, it teaches kids that "debates and disagreements can give you new ideas, stronger friendships and help change the world for the better" You can pre-order it from here.

Have you been re-stocking those pencil cases ready for the new school year only to find you are chucking loads of worn out felt tips away? There is still a surprising amount of things that we're told we are unable to put out with our usual recycling. Worn out-broken pens, old razors, plastic toothbrushes, plastic plant pots, burst paddling pools and inflatables and all the stuff you feel you have no choice but to put in the big black bin. Well, Terracycle, is on a mission to eliminate the idea of waste, by recycling a particular type of waste that isn't currently recycled through local councils or recycling facilities. For smaller items, they provide you with a free downloadable shipping label, for bigger items there is a cost for purchasing one of their Zero Waste Boxes. In the meantime, check out all their FREE recycling drop off programmes here, or info on how to start your own here.
