CHILDREN deprived of books in lockdown will this weekend be able to enjoy a bedtime story – thanks to YOU, our kind-hearted readers. Last month we asked for donations of old, tatty books so we could recycle them and send out new ones as part of The Sun on Sunday’s Books For Kids campaign, in association with the UK’s largest reading charity BookTrust. Click here to find out more about our Books For Kids campaign Now an amazing 10,000 new books are being distributed to schools, children’s centres, food banks, women’s refuges and family support teams up and down the country. After receiving some of the first batch, Kully Uppal, principal at ­Bristnall Hall Academy in Oldbury, West Mids, described the scheme as “vital” for poorer children with libraries shut and money tight.

MILITANT teachers are hatching a last-minute strike plot to disrupt the full re-opening of schools, we can reveal. Hard-line union activist Martin Powell-Davies is backing industrial action ballots on the eve of all kids returning to class. ⚠️ Read our UK schools reopening live blog for the latest news & updates In a rallying call, he says school chiefs will be “failing in their responsibilities” on health and safety grounds by opening their doors if Covid cases don’t drop dramatically. The executive body of the 450,000-strong National Education Union has been called on to back his plans. Powell-Davies, who is campaigning to be deputy general secretary, believes there should be a phased transition to a full re-opening. He is demanding class sizes of just 50 per cent and that school openings are triggered only once there are falling local infection rates . He said: “If those decisions are not met then employers will be failing in their duties. They … [Read more...] about Militant teachers hatching last-minute strike plot to disrupt re-opening of schools

WHO doesn’t love a custard cream with their cuppa? I was amazed when I discovered you can bake your own giant ­biscuit-shaped cakes using a handy mould. They are perfect for birthdays. I spoke to biscuit fanatic Tom Pannett, 45, for his tips on creating cakes that take the biscuit. Tom, from Egham, Surrey, sells the moulds at moldyfun.com . Cheat and eat: Tom says: “The great thing about the moulds is they are an easy way to get perfect results every time.” His custard cream moulds are now £19.99, down from £22.99, and they can be used over and over again. SAVING: £3 on the mould Perfect detail: Tom says: “Always add anti-stick spray to the inside of the moulds so when you take cakes out, detail is not lost.” I’m a big fan of the PME Release-A-Cake spray. It’s £2.99 at lakeland.co.uk , cheaper than £3.50 at hobbycraft.co.uk . SAVING: 51p Use your imagination: Tom says: “The recipes we provide are only a guide Feel free to make changes.” Little … [Read more...] about Bake your own giant ­biscuit-shaped cakes using our top tips

BRITS have been warned not to "wreck this now" as England's deputy chief medical officer urged everyone to continue following the rules. Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said there were "some worrying signs that people are relaxing" in the coronavirus battle at "exactly the wrong time". He also alerted people who have already been vaccinated to the dangers of "taking their foot off the brake" and being tempted to break Covid-19 rules. He told a Downing Street briefing on Friday: "All the patients that I vaccinate... I say to them, 'Remember, all the rules still apply to you and all of us until we're in a much safer place'. It doesn't change because you've had your first dose of vaccine. "And so, please don't be tempted to think, 'Well, one home visit might be all right now the weather is getting better, going to be a nice weekend, one small gathering in your house won't really matter'.
