Have a listen to this AMAZING song written by a group of six Y6 children from @y6goldfinch class.

They wanted to write a song about their friendship and growing up together. We are very proud of them all!

If you want children to use words well, read brilliant books with them, talk about about words in context, discuss why authors have used the words they have.

Making time to talk about books and words is key.

Does anyone know if there is a pre-populated list of companies/charities that offer free workshops in schools? I know @Natures_Voice do and we’ve got a date for them but I want to give the children as many different experiences as possible! @FHTTandL @_anneingle @TeacherStarr

Does anyone plan their curriculum (English, topics and science etc) around a text or book per topic? What are the benefits/or things to avoid? Any examples of what planning looks like? Thanks 👍 #PrimaryRocks @PrimaryRocks1 @PR_English @_Reading_Rocks_ #curriculum

Does anyone else use PM Benchmarking to assess reading? Do you find it matches up with national tests? Particularly interested in year 2...

I need someone to play devil's advocate for me regarding whole-class reading. What are the best things about carousel method, please?

Many schools have found out over the past couple of days that they will be moderated for writing. What have been people's initial thoughts?
