Poets aged 11-17 - don't forget to enter the Foyle competition this week. https://t.co/yKQF1jH6fu Esme was the first winner from our school and it made a difference to her and all of us. A great poem for a rainy day.

This looks like a great writing opportunity to get involved in during the summer holidays! 👇👇

[Symonds English @Symonds_English]

@dramaonlinelib It looks great, thank you. Our students will be using it to watch the excellent NT production of Othello over the holiday, and it all worked perfectly in our webinar.

[Symonds English @Symonds_English]

SOS any English teachers or drama people out there know what just happened to @dramaonlinelib ? It was working this morning.... we are just about to do a webinar launching our new unit and show our students how to log on but it seems to have dropped off the face of the earth!

[Symonds English @Symonds_English]

@dramaonlinelib Thank you!

[Symonds English @Symonds_English]

@dramaonlinelib Thanks for the speedy reply! It was very odd because we planned it all out and finished at about 9.28. We must have been the final users of the old system. Will it be back by 1 do you think? If so, we are good to go 🤞🏼
