Baby Basics is a volunteer-led project aiming to support new mothers and families who are struggling to meet the financial and practical burden of looking after a new baby. Baby Basics started in Sheffield in the spring of 2009, this centre continues to support families across Sheffield working with a wide range of frontline health and social care professionals. There is an ever increasing network of Baby Basics centres across the country each staffed by a committed team of volunteers. For your nearest Baby Basics please click here.

Baby Basics provides much needed essentials and equipment to mothers and families who are unable to provide these items for themselves; including but not limited to teenage mums, people seeking asylum and women fleeing domestic abuse and trafficking.

Introducing Steam Gauge: Data reveals Steam’s most popular games
Right now, I can tell you that about 37 percent of the roughly 781 million games registered to various Steam accounts haven’t even been loaded a single time. I can tell you that Steam users have put an aggregate of about 3.8 billion hours into Dota 2. I can tell you that Steam users tend to put nearly 600 percent more time into the multiplayer mode on Modern Warfare 2 than the single player mode. Basically, I can give you an idea of how any of the thousands of games on Steam have performed, both in terms of sales and gameplay hours.
WOTW: Gauge
In your form time exercise book, write two sentences with the word gauge in them:
Examples: He gauged the wind at over thirty knots.
Distance is gauged by journey time rather than miles. They found it difficult to gauge his mood from his blank expression.

Your latest results: “Should we learn more about coping with extreme weather?”
Thank you for speaking up and using your voice to share your views. Your votes are clear, we need to feel prepared for increasingly changing weather, you deserve to feel confident about what is changing in the world we are living in.

Your latest results: “Should
we learn more about
coping with extreme weather?”
The impact of climate change will affect us all in different ways. The UK will likely experience increased rain and flood-risk whilst those in warmer countries might experience droughts or wildfires. With the impacts varying, it’s important that we all understand how climate change will affect daily life in the place that we live. Education – at a local level – is incredibly important. It will help us to understand how we can cope with these weather extremes and adapt our buildings, infrastructure and daily lives. Limiting the growth of climate change, whilst preparing for its impacts, is a positive yet realistic approach.

Do emojis make communicating easier?
1 Why are we talking about this?
This week, your VotesforSchools topic has been chosen by you! For this week’s Voters’ Choice, we are taking a look at emojis
1 Why are we talking about this?
Emojis are entering most digital chats. Do they always help getting the right message across though? Later on, you’ll be voting Yes or No to the VoteTopic question: “Do emojis make communicating easier?” Let’s in…
Great topic
Passive aggressive:
Showing an unwillingness to be helpful or friendly, without expressing your anger openly. Emojis can add emotions to messages. Quick poll (1 min) Who thinks sending a thumbs up is passive aggressive?
A single emoji can sometimes replace an entire sentence. They can offer a quick way to express yourself. There’s often a simple meaning behind an emoji. However, many emojis can be used to share other messages.
Class discussion (3-5 mins)
Which emojis are most commonly misunderstood?
3 Wait, you thought I meant…
As you explained in the last section, some emojis can have their meanings misunderstood.
Emojis, like words, can have their meanings changed over time. A lit Christmas tree can mean something different to different people. Or should that be a …
3 Wait, you thought I meant…
Someone’s gender, age and culture can influence how we interpret an emoji. It can be useful to consider this before hitting send!

Pair discussion (6-8 mins)
Take a look at some scenarios. Is the emoji use making communication easier or harder? Discuss your ideas with your partner.

Your effort for the group presentation was great
Now’s your chance to vote on: “Do emojis make communicating easier?”
Yes
It’s fast and convenient. Added bonus if prying eyes don’t fully get what’s being said
You can share emotions and emphasis that would be difficult with text alone.
The double meanings of emojis is really useful when you want to ask certain things.
It’s fair to say people of different ages can struggle to understand each other's emoji use.
It can be a bit too easy to send an emotional emoji rather than talking through your true feelings.
You can make mistakes if you don’t know all the meanings of an emoji
No
