Hey all, I'm going back into teaching after 5 years out raising children. It's all a bit scary/exciting. I'm trying to get as prepared as I can be. One of the texts is A Monster Calls. Does anyone have anything on it? Thanks! @Team_English1 @TeamEnglishNC

It’s pouring with rain in London at the moment. Getting about with a double pram and rain covers and umbrellas and shoe throwing toddlers can be difficult. To the many people who stopped me and pointed out my child… https://t.co/c5Ss4LraM4

I love this t-shirt @Aliceskinner . Thanks @elsie5 for the gift. My little girl was fascinated by the arm, which she thought was a man’s. “No it’s a woman’s arm” I said. “Why?” She asked. “Because women can be… https://t.co/xnOmwY4bIg

The Paper Bag Princess. I love this book. It challenges gender stereotypes and uses the word ‘bum’ (which never fails to make my kids laugh) #robertmunsch #thepaperbagprincess #childrensliterature #picturebooks… https://t.co/cthHeWK7hn

The sun is shining! Here is a sunny vegan curry. It’s been almost two months on my vegan journey and I can honestly say I’m not missing things. It’s definitely making me think about… https://t.co/yUhUqX8jAW
