It’s not just World Book Day in our school, it’s book week…
Monday - a surprise immersive experience based on a book, Tuesday - author visit, Wednesday - bedtime stories/pj day, Thursday - World book day, Friday - book swap shop and reading safari. Proud English lead moment 🥰
One of my most favourite days of the school calendar…it’s such an emotional, beautiful day watching 8000 children sing and dance their hearts out. So much joy on Friday, lighting up the O2! Young Voices 25, @YVconcerts you were incredibly special. 💗
If you want to be inspired, you need to meet @alexwhartonpoet - every single child was in awe of his work. Multi-talented, incredible author that we were so very fortunate to have in our school for our special book week. What a day! I love book week. 💛
A huge thank you to @whatSFSaid for sending his new text to the pupils at my school. We have started reading Tyger as a class and to say that the children are hooked is an understatement! We love it! #readingforpleasure
CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY! I am giving away copies of all four of my books so far - Varjak Paw, The Outlaw Varjak Paw, Phoenix and Tyger. Just RT to enter, and say which book you'd like - closes December 11th!
Haven’t stopped talking about the @TheEdPeople English conference I went to yesterday.Spent the morning and a workshop with inspirational @JamieThomasTFW-can’t wait to share everything I’ve learnt with my staff team.Very fortunate to listen to @whatSFSaid and his pearls of wisdom
We writers do our best to create books that will thrill children, filling their minds with magic & wonder. But I think the real magic happens in those places where adults read aloud to kids, bringing the books to life, and changing their lives forever in the process. #literacy
Beginning my twitter feed with a positivity. I thoroughly enjoyed leading an afternoon session on Developing Pupils’ Literacy to Kent and Sussex SCITT students. #Englishlead#phonics#earlyreading#writing
@Missy_E36 You don’t know that you won’t get it. Even if you don’t get it, it’s great interview practise for future positions. Never hold back. You can do this!
