@sufiyaahmed @cirenhistory @BloomsburyEd My daughter loved your session at the museum and meeting you to get her book signed. She is reading it right now! Thank you for coming to Cirencester.

@MrBruffEnglish I agree on Charlie Brooker columns. He has one on spiders and another on passwords that are both brilliant.

[Claire Collins @ClaireCollins1]

@Bowtie_pedagogy @Team_English1 Agree on the comment about the animated tales cartoon version. It is a brilliant way into the plot and main characters.

@MrBruffEnglish Such a great interview. I love how she keeps reminding us that her character is a construct. Fascinating insight into the crafting of a poem.

@lucifee @castittalent Same here. Hours spent on the videos.

@BladeoftheS Beautifully articulated. Keep saying it loud and clear. Well done.

@RogersHistory Shouting across the classroom and no equipment (pen; book).

@mlothianmclean @novaramedia I am so sorry. I am so shocked that this is still happening. Unbelievable racism and such naivety too from the interviewee. My Mum is 77 and lives in Ashfield and her views are a million miles away from this lady’s. Age is not the issue. Pure ignorance is.

[Claire Collins @ClaireCollins1]

@GCSE_Macbeth Totally agree. Such an unfair mark scheme.

[Claire Collins @ClaireCollins1]

@Jeff_Pedley I ain’t got a pen!

@_krogg I heard this for the first time the end of last week. Cooking is good; cooked is bad. Also accompanied by gesture intimating whisking a bowl!

@mrdanwalker @ClassicFM Zapper / clicker / remote / power / doofer. Any of these are used interchangeably. We have never heard of ‘the buttons’!
