Tasked with the challenge of responding to each of the #RTRP @cheltfestivals titles creatively, an icebreaker was needed for the 1st title Tsunami Girl @julianaurelius origami foxes were the colourful solution @thereaderorg @Jake_Hope @KaraOrford @Gem_Reads_Books

[LibraryWGSG @LibraryWgsg]

Year 8 library club have loved taking part in #RTRP @cheltfestivals They celebrated each title creatively & have collated a scrapbook of their work, taking inspiration from visual literacy & last year's Greenaway Greats for Artsmark20 @Jake_Hope @thereaderorg @KaraOrford

We have to make a stand against LGBTQ+ book censorship. And these school staff have. I applaud and thank every one of them. But it’s not about me - it’s about the students, LGBT or not, who deserve (and need) to see their realities, and those of their peers, reflected in books.

[LCEPWirral @wirral_lcep]

Wirral LCEP meeting is tomorrow, 17th March at 10am, via zoom. If you wish to attend and have not received an email with the details, DM me and I will send an invite first thing tomorrow morning.

Do you know why pupils at @LibraryWgsg adore books by and visits from @simonjamesgreen because they love rom-com, they also love overrall feelgood vibes and yes they love the LGBTQ+

[Wirral SLS @slswirral]

@catherineVick24 @_Reading_Rocks_ @authorfy How about a green theme and caring for our planet? We love 'Here We Are' @OliverJeffers and 'Once Upon a Raindrop' - a poem by @jamescarterpoet with illustrations by Nomoco. Both beautiful picture books for a wide age range.
