I think the painting of the branch this kingfisher is sitting on is one of the best examples of watercolour I’ve seen a child do. It’s beautiful - look at the range of colours #primaryart #watercolour #thelostwords

Jamie’s day job was with @cumbriawildlife.bsky.social but I met him when were both crowdfunding to buy copies of #TheLostWords for schools in our counties. His campaign, characteristically went many extra miles, as he walked across England, visiting schools along the way to enlighten & delight.

Snakes alive! Over 10 Adder sightings today from the Osprey hide as they recharged their batteries in the sun. Our usual Osps were about and the 'extra' male from last year was trying out his new platform. (Photo by

One of the great joys in life is teaching art. With inspiration from The Lost Words and a touch of Ben Rothery it’s very easy. So proud of our Y5/6 children. #primaryart #artteaching #thelostwords #jackiemorris #benrothery

Love this term! We use The Lost Words by #robertmacfarlane & #jackiemorris to inspire artwork based on the beauty of nature. A term for patience, care and resilience. We look in detail and then super detail and it’s when children take a giant leap. #primaryart This is just the start! #thelostwords

Another lovely thing about my end-of-tour visit with my cousin Adam in upstate New York was spotting @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social & #JackieMorris’s beautiful #book #TheLostWords tucked under the well-stocked bookcase in Adam’s 5-year-old son Julian’s room! Clearly a child of excellent taste.

Finally visited the Jackie Morris exhibition at Rheged. Wonderful. I have always been a fan of #TheLostWords Spell Book with Robert MacFarlane. Also relevant to a new @saperep4c.bsky.social course I was involved in developing with Little Chatters www.sapere.org.uk/innovate-p4c...

Robert Macfarlane’s new book asks a question he couldn’t ignore: Is a river alive?
The author and naturalist visited three rivers (including one in Canada) to explore what it means to give the waterways the same rights as people

You are in for a treat, as the book is an absolute gem for nature lovers: it's by Robert Macfarlane (poems) & Jackie Morris (art). They have put the poems to music too, and extremely successful touring concerts. It's a blessing to let you know about it! 🙏 Schools love it.
